Georgia Makes Shapes

Georgia is a Textile artist from Dublin (B.A. NCAD Textile Design) who specialises in dyeing, creating and upcycling fabric in a way which minimises environmental impact. She is especially interested in the intersectionality of art, craft and design. After spending time focusing on acquiring technical skills and exploring materials, she is now developing a body of work for exhibition exploring these techniques such as sashiko, knitting, patchwork, spinning and embroidery, as well as developing more experimental areas, such as eco-printing. She is creating a thought provoking and engaging body of work which inspires the audience to make more conscious decisions around their consumption of textiles and fast fashion as well as providing her the opportunity to develop as an artist and textiles practitioner. Creating pieces which are aesthetically beautiful but which convey the message and value of slow craft is what drives her as well as celebrating nature and it's beauty.
