“Charlotte’s practice is deeply invested in allegory, art history and re-imagination. Her paintings are populated with vaguely familiar yet unknown quantities, smeared and spontaneously reworked into oblivion. The work takes us to the edge and asks us to question what we see. As a viewer one looks for a safe place to rest – places to identify and name. Snook gives us a platform to jump from but the excitement of these works is that there is no place to really land or settle.” djbrass
