Excited to be opening my solo show Emotional Geographies at The Art House in Wakefield tonight - an immersive arborical installation inspired by trees my Grampa planted in the city in the 1950s 💚🌳🌱

In the background black lettering on a white wall titled ‘Charlotte Smithson - Emotional Geographies’ is being installed by a man with his back to the room. In the foreground are the variegated leaves of a cornus tree on a wooden plinth in the gallery
