'Prodger's work on and with marks and colours, her gestures and their assemblage of things seen from geological time to the archaeological, to the swimming pool or home décor, unfold a pleasure in their own revisioned being; unlike the lilies of the field they do care for their raiment.'
-Adrian Rifkin
Cardinal Beams is published on the occasion of Charlie Prodger's solo exhibition at Hollybush Gardens, featuring a new series of large-scale drawings made in 2024. Previously known for her work across moving image, sculpture and installation, Prodger began to make drawings during a 2023 residency at Yaddo in upstate New York and at her subsequent year-long Fellowship at Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University. 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 those edges.'
