About

Georgina is an artist whose practice is research-led and site-responsive, shaped by social history, material culture, and lived experience. Working across sculpture, installation, film, sound, and collaborative processes, they create work that responds to place, memory, and the systems that quietly organise everyday life.

They are drawn to familiar objects and materials—glass, ceramics, inflatables, found materials, moving image, and sound—and to how these can hold multiple meanings at once. Fragility and endurance, care and control, domestic life and conflict often sit side by side in the work. Film and sound frequently extend sculptural forms, adding rhythm, emotion, and narrative, and inviting audiences to engage with the work physically as well as visually.

Scotland’s cultural and political landscapes are central to their practice. They are particularly interested in sites with unresolved tensions: between public and private space, environment and infrastructure, authority and resistance. Museums, public spaces, and recovery settings function not as neutral backdrops but as active collaborators that shape how the work is made and experienced.

Sustainability underpins their working methods, with a commitment to recycled materials, ethical sourcing, and energy-conscious processes as an ongoing responsibility rather than a visual statement.

Alongside studio practice, Georgina works as a curator and collaborator, with a strong focus on access, audience experience, and shared agency. Community engagement—especially with people in recovery—is integral, with projects shaped by trust, care, and an openness to complexity.
