Selected for The AON Community Art Award 2018-2019

Georgiana Rebekah's practice is based on the process and the transformation of materials.

 

During the first year of her Undergraduate Degree in Fine Art, at Leeds Arts University, Georgiana specialised in Landscapes. The research was recorded through photographs and rough sketches that were made on location. Upon reflection of these images, Georgiana noticed the pattern of not necessarily capturing the landscape itself but instead the textures and the rich colour pallet within each scene. Fascinated by how these natural occurring processes happened, she returned to the studio and started developing her own ways on how to create man-made similar effects.

 

After a lot of experimentation with different materials and substances, Georgiana took to metal due to how malleable and versatile it can be. The engagement with a constant, physical process of turning metal on the lathe to form a once flat material into a three-dimensional object is the driving force behind the beginning of each of her works. Making the purposeful decision to present each piece in the form of a sphere to refer back to landscape and the natural.


Every imperfection and mark to the surface is then enhanced and glorified by performing a series of oxidisation methods, altering the material until it eventually looks nothing like its original form. Throwing up vibrant tones of oranges and blues, Georgiana hopes to show the viewer that decay in nature, such as rust and verdigris, can be beautiful.
