Georgina Amos

Born in Cambridge in 1982 and educated at Chelsea College of Art, Georgina Amos explores the problem of communicating through the visual. It is a process of layering acrylic colours and masking areas at each stage, finally peeling away these areas to reveal the image. The shapes masked are derived from amalgamations of forms observed in the world and are unrecognisable as any specific entity, lying between the figurative and the abstract. She is particularly interested in exploring objects which do not communicate visually, for example; satellite dishes, street lights and telephone wires, using their visual forms to explore and re-build new understandings of their original use. Amos investigates the possibility of aesthetic communication to convey non-visual, sensory qualities such as warmth, speed and the façade of movement.
