A small deer lying down — the posture of an animal at rest, the body curled and settled. Georgia Green's stone lithograph uses two layers to build the image: a soft purple ground and a grey-brown pencil-like layer on top, the marks made directly onto limestone preserving the quality of drawing that the printing process then transfers to paper.
Stone lithography is now classified as an endangered craft in the UK — the heavy limestone slabs, the acid-treatment, the specialised presses required: all of it demanding infrastructure that most contemporary print studios can't sustain. Green practises it at Aga Lab in Amsterdam during her regular research residencies there, part of a sustained commitment to keeping traditional processes alive within a contemporary practice. Float framed in a light wood moulding, ready to hang. Signed. £225.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Georgia Green
Georgia is a visual artist, printmaker and muralist. Whilst she focuses on contemporary mechanisms of reproduction within her creative practice, Georgia’s knowledge of traditional printmaking strongly informs her mark-making processes. She graduated with a BA in Fine Art: Painting and Printmaking from Glasgow School of Art in 2018.
In Georgia’s work dreamscapes and landscapes collide; people and interiors soften into the sanctuary of the natural word. Within these spaces memory exists as colour alone, illuminated by the chimerical tangle of curiosity and longing that prompts each print. Georgia’s work is site-specific, and she often prints and draws directly from the spaces she inhabits.
