Georgia Frew is a multi-disciplinary artist living and working in Sydney. She has a particular focus on ritual objects and actions, the concept of ceremony and the sacred in a contemporary context, catharsis and emotional processing through art making and personal mythology and iconography. She is also interested in the behaviours learned and upheld as a consequence of living within the contemporary milieu and seeks to critique these within her work. Her performative practice frequently incorporates elements of film, intuitive movement, sculpture and vocalization while her sculptural works engage with a variety of mediums, including elements of native flora and fauna as well as ceramics, textiles and various metals. Her work seeks to elicit questions surrounding collective and individual memory as well as the role of objects and costumes as catalysts for emotional experiences.
