Georgia Clark
Georgia is a Community Artist with 10 years experience working with different artforms and groups of people across London, specialising in performance, visual arts and sensory and inclusive practice. This Residency represents an exciting opportunity for Georgia to bring together all the learning and different methodologies she has been exposed to over the last 10 years and dig into what her own process and artistic practice looks like.
Her point of departure has been devoting time to her movement and drawing practice, which is built around sensing into the body and following the impulses that arise. She is deeply informed by the approach developed by Moving Pieces Collective; a unique arts in health theatre company motivated by creating work through processes that are both regulating for the nervous system and artistically interesting. During her Residency she plans to explore embodied, regulating and mindful movement and artmaking practices to resource her nervous system, and to then explore the images and themes that come forward in more depth, experimenting with moving and making on a bigger scale and with new materials. Her experience of synaesthesia and new motherhood influence both the aesthetic and process of making.
Georgia also leads the Sandpit Arts project, based at St Margaret’s House, which creates space for adults to experiment with different visual art techniques alongside other artforms. She is looking forward to seeing how the Residency will inform and develop the next series of Sandpit Arts workshops, visioned for spring/summer 2024.
