Chloë Manasseh

Working between observation and found imagery, Chloë Manasseh’s (b. 1990, London) work evokes a sense of exotic escapism, whilst commenting on our inherent compulsion to bring nature indoors. Taking inspiration from intricate patterns, the natural landscape and the wilds of her imagination, her work reflects on how we inhabit space through visual identity. Manasseh is interested in the process by which imagination can intrude on physical space, influencing how people establish a connection to it. In unknown environments, spaces are re-negotiated, shaping our memories and identity in the landscape.
