Charisse Pearlina Weston
(b. 1988)
Charisse Pearlina Weston (b. 1988, Houston, TX; lives and works in Brooklyn) is a conceptual artist and writer whose work emerges from deep material investigations of the symbolic and literal curls, layerings, and collapses of space, poetics, and the autobiographical.
Biography
She deploys the fold, concealment, and repetition within her work as tactics of conceptual abstraction, which posits Black interior life as a central site for Black resistance. She holds a BA in art history from the University of North Texas; a Modern Art: History, Curating and Criticism MSc from the University of Edinburgh’s Edinburgh College of Art; and an MFA in studio art, with a critical theory emphasis, from the University of California, Irvine. She is an alumna of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Independent Study Program (2019–20).
