About Georgie Kite
—
My work manifests in lots of ways but the hypothesis stays the same whether it’s painting or writing or collage. All the work experiments with concepts of chance and synchronicity and attempts to achieve a balance between conscious and subconscious impulses. Abstraction is the starting point and sometimes recognisable landscapes and objects or narratives emerge.
During my BA I enjoyed looking at the world through different lenses, pulling it apart, putting it back together… making art is much the same. I change the lens but the intention is always to go into the unknown, to find and follow clues that don’t initially make sense or connect and eventually there is an experience or observation of a pattern or a convergence. It’s always a process of seeking a sensation of clarity in chaos.
