Practice
George’s practice investigates and aims to create systems of meaning that communicate alternative forms of orientation, interconnectedness and intimacy within the context of an ecologically damaged planet.
Creating forms of generative storytelling, works act as enigmatic tools and quasi-functional environments problematising anthropocentric and late liberal capitalist structures of understanding and intuition. Ultimately its aim is to expose vulnerable crises’ of some-thing - an underlying plot, a form of devotion, an act of care or political claim – to emerge into ‘sensibility’.
