B. 1986, based in Lincolnshire and London.

Charles Harrison's work remodels common forms, drawing attention to perceptual fragility through distortions of material and sensual codes. Sculptural works are usually poorly fabricated and often placed within unsuspecting public environments, both offline and online. Large-scale collaborative projects have brought these processes together to instigate things like a dreamy old mattress shop, a leaky laundrette and a train station staircase in a domestic garage.

Charles graduated with a BA in Drawing and Painting from University of Northampton in 2007. He has exhibited with Jupiter Woods, London, Lifespace, Dundee, Neue Froth Kunsthalle, Brighton and completed residencies with PRAKSIS, Oslo, Wellcome Collection and Barbican Centre, London. His artistic methods and conceptual understanding have been shaped through collaboration and interdisciplinary research alongside artists, curators, social scientists, neuropsychologists, motor-neuroscientists and people living with rare dementias. These collaborations have particularly focussed on the historical development, values and deficiencies of standardised testing methods and have led to novel social science and arts and health research funded by Wellcome Trust, University College London (UCL) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).

​

Charles also works as an arts and health consultant for UCL Dementia Research Centre (DRC), and for Rare Dementia Support (RDS), contributing to research, education, public and patient involvement and coordinating health and wellbeing  projects alongside people living with rare dementias through the Rare Space community venture.
