Art on a Postcard Winter Auction, Lots 401-520

About 

In her work she tries to realise a form of togetherness, to hide, protect and cover ourselves. She sees this fullness in nature too, where even in a leafless state, a tree still stands whole with gaps tracing its branches. She uses decorative shapes to mimic this repetitive up and down mundane reality, moulded around love, loss and anxiety. 
To ‘build’ something while remaining unaware of the end product, Georgia tries to stay close to her drawings and her own feelings during the making process. As well as printing and painting, she regards drawing as the basis of her expression. She likes the idea of working slowly in order to bring sensitivity in her practice and uses repetitive forms analogous to Arts and Crafts movement's motifs. She finds that if she loses herself in their occurrences, the ending feels out of her hands.  
Georgia uses negative spaces to describe a flat shape of either fallen or solid ground. The idea of negativity directs us to a sad emotion, saying that the space is missing or punctured somehow. However, she uses this space more like a shape in itself, an atmosphere to be effected by the forms around it. Whether positive or negative, the space on its own is used to suggest inevitable depths that knit together our changeable up and down heartbeat of reality.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork   

These thumbnail trees are important to Georgia's process in order to create a small safe space to be present in and as a result create a natural movement. This state of calmness can be found in the smallest of boxes, to allow the most rippling feelings to get to the surface. It is these intimate sketch drawings that she finds most natural and easy to extend into bigger works because of the quiet moment with this size of paper. Under your chin within your circling arms, you can cradle a doodle that feels louder than ever. Fizzing through each leaf, Georgia explores the minute points that go in and out to create the holes and fillings of trees and all that they manifest.
