About this artwork
Weaving is one of the oldest human crafts. Even in the Stone Age, branches were woven together to make objects. The weavers needed dexterity, diligence, high concentration and artistic skills, as the complex and delicate patterns were woven together methodically. With the industrial revolution, many people lost their sources of income, even though weaving had previously been a well-paid occupation. As the production of fabrics was now taken over…
by machines, poverty and social revolts characterised social life in the 19th and 20th centuries.
I want to combine this industrial transition and the old craft of weaving. By using PET bottles cut into strips, different traditional weaving patterns are expressed in self-made wooden frames. Very familiar materials from everyday life are modified so that they only become recognisable at second glance. The lost craft of weaving is revitalised through artistic exploration and the resulting structures and transported into the present time.

- Works on commission
Charlotte Payet constructs her artistry from her rich education in fine arts combined with a bullish scholarship record. She intricately creates installations through weaving together recycled PET bottles, translating the ordinary into profound artistic expressions and marrying the skilled textile tradition with contemporary environmental narratives. Harnessing the ephemeral energies between items, Charlotte's artworks deliver an emotional encounter with invisible interactions, imploring observer's exploration and fostering their own personal associations.
