Hello,
Georgia! Where are you based?
I live between London and the rural English
countryside where my studio is based.
What
inspires you in general?
Day-to-day use of texture, colour, shape
and combinations that I see all around me.
What
is it like to be a young artist in your country?
Exciting, hard and lonely.
What
attracts you about the FASHIONCLASH platform?
That it represents an exciting moment in a designer’s
career. The work on show has not lost its sense of excitement; the FASHIONCLASH
platform captures new ideas and a new way of thinking.
The
FASHIONCLASH Exhibition is curated under the theme of ‘Age’. How does your
creation relate to this year’s theme?
‘Wrap’ is a series of cloths suitable for
wrapping all manner of bodies, ages and objects, which provide protection and
adornment. My work is an exploration into the human relationship with cloth and
shape. Each cloth can be interpreted by the individual, regardless of age,
gender or ability; each cloth can function in a unique way brought to life by
the individual.
