Charlie Sandeman (he/they) is a queer trans artist in Vancouver, BC who works mainly in ceramics and sculpture. While his work spans multiple mediums and utilizes many materials, his subjects primarily explore the transgender experience, queer identity and mental health. He also takes a lot of visual inspiration from nature and gravity and enjoys playing with material and scale. Art has become an important way to process and understand his life and experiences.
Charlie lives and works on the stolen lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations
