Water has been a recurring presence in the work of Charles Harlan (b. 1984, Smyrna, GA), whose meditative sculptures surface and reflect varied material and human histories. His readymade objects of choice, which are brought together with minimal alteration, are drawn from industrial, agricultural, and domestic aspects of our built environment. In their original non-art contexts, they have functional use value as components of machinery, manual labor, trade, craftsmanship, or conveyance.
