Charli Rose Gerry is an emerging artist, researcher and writer based on Gadigal Land, Sydney. Her practice explores the intimate relationships binding humans with fungi, and their entangled impact across multiple scales and time scapes. Charli is fascinated with mushroom foraging as a critical, sensory process that can attune us to dynamic encounters with more-than-human existences in situated ecologies. Led by an embodied research strategy, the artist documents experiences of place through paper-making with ethically foraged mushrooms. Gerry’s current research is focused on how kinships with fungi can imagine new modes of both existence and resistance inside oppressive and extractive systems. Charli completed a Bachelors Degree in Art Theory, gaining First Class Honours, in early 2023. Since then, she has been a finalist in a selection of awards, and partaken in collaborative projects, group exhibitions and residencies across Sydney and Melbourne. In 2024, Charli was selected in the Gunyah Artist in Residence program in North Arm Cove, Australia.
