Charlie Prodger

Hollybush Gardens is pleased to present Cardinal Beams, a solo exhibition of new drawings by Charlie Prodger. Previously known for her work across moving image and installation, Prodger began to make drawings during her recent Research Fellowship at Harvard Radcliffe Institute, Massachusetts. The first series was exhibited as part of her solo exhibition The Offering Formula at Secession, Vienna (December 2023 – February 2024). She writes, ’Every few years, I shift to a new way of working. It hasn’t necessarily been a conscious process, rather it is reflective of my interest in the limits and parameters of particular materials, and in pushing and feeling out the edges.’

Cardinal Beams features archaeological fragments and architectural details alongside diaristic renderings from Glasgow, New England and in transit. This new body of work originates in happenstance, bearing witness to ruptures of ecstasy, altered states motioning to the sublime and momentary variations in current and frequency.
