Dreaming Was Enough

Georgie Fay is an artist based in London, UK. Her practice is primarily print based and often inspired by her noteworthy career as an Arts Educator. At the core of her artistic vision is a search for place and connections, in landscape and history. She explores critical themes like the mounting tensions between humankind and nature, and the importance of memory and place. Her work captures a visceral energy and stitches together the sometimes ephemeral. Fay’s areas of investigation derive from her personal experiences whether that be the mundane city pavements, migrating flight patterns or journeys undertaken; she engages in the everyday.

 

Within the structural framework of traditional printing techniques, she expresses these narratives. Fay utilises photography, digital imagery and found materials in the production of her etchings and monoprints. She layers imagery with drawing and mark making to create contrived landscapes, in which the viewer can find personal connections. Her most recent body of work looks at how humankind has interacted and changed landscape. She specifically analyses our use of the elements throughout time from Neolithic farming to power stations that dot our horizons today.
