This exhibition features a series of mixed media artworks and is inspired by, and focuses on, places encumbered with dereliction and features of the material environment. Geraldine frequently uses reclaimed materials and found or discarded objects including photographs as sources of inspiration for her artworks. Memory is also an important element in her work, focusing on the personal and shared sense of history attached to objects and photographs. The process is a central part of Geraldine’s artistic practice, and focuses on the use of different materials such as wax, latex, plaster and resin.
“The objects and photographs from which I work suggest a vanished period, nostalgia, a moment that is now gone. I am attracted to the elusive and mysterious nature of these objects, the deeply rooted emotional resonance inherent in these pieces.”
