Wrenay Gomez Charlton is a multidisciplinary artist, born in Long Beach, CA in 1968. She received a MFA  from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2006. She is the recipient of several awards and has exhibited her work  nationally. Wrenay’s work addresses the always ongoing production of female agency. The Space Between is a series of large photographs of Wrenay’s daughter. Her goal is to portray the psychic and productive space  that her daughter creates for herself, what Wrenay calls a space “between.” This space between is  multifaceted; the shift from being active to inactive, the passage from girlhood to womanhood, and the disparity  between societal idealizations of childhood and actual experiences.
