GEORGIA ANNE

Georgia Anne is a proud Central and Eastern Arrernte woman and a multi-disciplinary artist living and making in Naarm, on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. Through a practice that blends traditional and contemporary styles, her work embraces the fluid, complex, and evolving nature of identity. Inspired by decolonial perspectives, Georgia explores themes of self-determination and decolonisation, and questions the commodification of Aboriginal identity, aiming to create spaces where Indigenous voices and identities can grow and evolve freely.

Rooted in the slow, intentional craft of hand-making, Georgia works primarily with natural, locally sourced materials that carry their own stories. Her practice is an ongoing process that reflects her relationship with culture, community, and self. Each piece offers space for multiplicity and nuance, honouring the many layers and complexities of identity without conforming to a single, fixed narrative. Her work resists simplistic interpretations of Indigenous art, offering a more nuanced and fluid expression of First Nations identity that honours tradition while allowing space for growth and resistance.

Through acrylic paintings that blend traditional Central Australian styles with contemporary materials, woven forms that navigate the line between sculpture and utility, and hand-built ceramics that challenge the pace of modern life, Georgia seeks to ask what it truly means to be a First Nations artist.
