Artist Statement
Since graduating with a BA in Fine Art: Painting and Printmaking from Glasgow School of Art in 2018 Georgia has championed sustainable printmaking processes such as silkscreen and risography, a mechanised form of stencil printing with a more climate conscious appeal than its traditional or digital counterparts.
While she primarily uses contemporary mediums of replication within her practice, Georgia’s knowledge of traditional printmaking strongly informs her mark-making processes. With each new edition she generates an organic and intuitive creative dialogue, designed to challenge the stereotypical view of silkscreen and risography as ‘pop’ or ‘kitsch’ mediums. Through this exchange she highlights the subtle possibilities of colour and texture that can be achieved using sustainable water and soya-based inks, bridging the divide between fine art duplication and more accessible printmaking mediums.
As a printmaker Georgia uses her art to unravel the interiors she moves through and lives within. She dissolves and dramatises everyday rooms and corridors, questioning notions of intimacy, belonging and confinement. Within these scenes memory exists as colour alone, illuminated by the chimerical tangle of curiosity and longing that prompts each artwork.
