Charlotte Gould is a New York-based artist who uses photography and mixed media to create visual fictions which explore themes of safety and instability, the aftermath of violence, and the illusion of control. Implicit in Gould’s work is the question: What can we do to confront violence? A trained athlete and running coach, Gould began developing her current body of work in 2018, taking photographs during training runs through New York City that documented the conditions of unsheltered people during the height of COVID. In 2024, she began formal studies in photography under Janette Beckman and Silvio Wolf at the School of Visual Arts.
