Georgie Park - Profile

I have a passion for making, for creating something
tangible as an expression of my personal emotional and situational
state. My work explores internal conflict or frustration and
as a result it often combines positive and negative elements
within one piece or installation space. Through this, it achieves
an ambivalent nature which I feel is important for the viewer’s
ability to relate to the work on a personal level.
I have a great interest in developing a deeper understanding of material and
for the challenge of finding the limits and boundaries of a process or material
and also the limits of my own ability. Recently I have worked a lot with plaster,
with casts of my own body and find the endurance of physical exertion involved
in the process pushes and drives my creative output. However, this said, when
developing my ideas I keep an open mind as to the material or process I am going
to use in order to find the most appropriate way to bring my ideas into realisation.
As a result my work is often in multi disciplinary and installation based drawing
from and bringing together many different disciplines e.g. film, sculpture, performance,
craft and ceramics.
