Georgia Green (b. 1996) graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2018. As a printmaker Georgia uses her art to unravel and dramatise everyday interiors from her life, questioning notions of intimacy, belonging and confinement through the glaze of domesticity and sentimentalism. Her painterly prints play with sunlight, lamplight and candlelight, endlessly drawn to the softness of illumination. Enclosed by these scenes Georgia is drawn into the warmth of her childhood; filling empty rooms with colourful figures and animals she collects from children's books, novels, poetry, films and dreams. In these painterly reveries memories and imagination start to overlap playfully, illuminating the chimerical tangle of curiosity and longing that prompts each artwork.
