Working from original drawings held in the Edward James Cultural Archive, as well as taking inspiration from the concrete forms James built at ‘Las Pozas’ (Xilitla, Mexico), Charman’s installation proposes a renewed engagement with an unrealised structure. As such, <em>Artichoke House</em> is concerned with reviewing a surreal proposition as a means of exploring the ontological relationship between image and object. <a href="http://westdeanvisualarts.com/artists-in-residence/georgecharman/">More info.</a> [caption id="attachment_2596" align="alignnone" width="620"]<a href="https://westdeanvisualarts.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/rebecca-partridge.jpg">
