Charlie Welch, see you soon, 2023

Charlie Welch’s collages began as meditations, typically created first thing in the morning. Using multiple sources and references, from vintage educational manuals to porn, he plays with layering and cropping of images in order to tell different stories, unrelated to their original contexts, and usually those stories are about loss and desire. He is a co-founder of the NY Queer Zine Fair, a member of the Queer Action Figures collective, and one half of KNOWSGAY.
