Trained as a sound artist, Boston-based Georgina Lewis (she/her) is a first generation American and dual citizen, raised in Amish Country, Pennsylvania and rural Nova Scotia. Georgina (also known as "George") works across media, using photography, installation, drawing, sculpture, and sound to make pieces that examine dissonance: what tensions and artifacts result when one or more things come in contact. Her current work references alchemy, nature, and the anthropocene, using materials such as rain, snow, sand, paper, and wildly colored plastic gems and wigs to construct images and objects that are both magical and therapeutic: provocative reminders that transformation and change can be both possible and beneficial. Lewis questions the power we invest in technology and the effect this is having on us, believing that it is more important to be whole than perfect.
Georgina received her MFA from Bard College and holds undergraduate degrees from SMFA at Tufts University and Franklin and Marshall College, in addition to studying at Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts. Her work has been presented at numerous venues, including Montserrat College of Art's Frame 301 Gallery, Boston University's 808 gallery, Fountain Street Gallery, Grapefruits Art Space, the Mills Gallery, Boston Cyberarts, and Piano Craft Gallery. She has been a resident at Millay Colony, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and Moulin à Nef France, and is currently a Boston Center for the Arts Studio Resident. Her work has been written about in The Boston Globe, Art in America, The Wire, and Afterimage among others.
