Charles Levi

Charles Levi is an expanded textile and installation artist. His practice positions itself amongst the radical potentialities of the queer archive as well as the nuances of bodily labour present in textile methodologies. Levi utilises his capacious practice to cathartically produce allegoric narrations of queer experience, while simultaneously obscuring the legibility of his work by implementing coded heraldic symbolism reminiscent of historic instances of queer flagging. Levi commonly meditates between notions of inclusivity and exclusivity, a common practice within queer spaces, ensuring an equivocal and esoteric dimension. Levi engages with similarly laborious queer-centric textile practices whilst simultaneously positioning itself within a separate conversation that investigates the immediate intersection of feeling and fabric.
