Georgina Bolton was born in Harrogate in 1987. She is currently studying on the MA (Hons) Fine Art (Sculpture) course between University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh College of Art. She completed the Leeds College of Art Foundation programme in 2007.

She has recently exhibited in Secret Garden Party, Huntingdon, 2010; Hidden Door Festival, Roxy Art House, Edinburgh, 2010 and Poise, Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh, 2010. She has been selected for a residency at the John David Mooney Foundation, Chicago in July 2011.

Georgina Bolton’s work is concerned with a diverse investigation into what constitutes ‘dimensionality’. She is interested in the finished and unfinished, the solid and void, the tangible and intangible, the functional and the dysfunctional. This is often communicated through an architectural, geometrically orientated aesthetic and an imaginative approach to ‘shape’ and ‘structure’. Whilst on a recent exchange programme to Budapest she developed an obsession with wrapping old coat stands in brightly coloured wool, aesthetically altering these functional objects. In Interim she will show Poise a sculpture consisting of linked forms also wrapped in coloured wool, dispersed throughout the space. Her work encourages an acute awareness of the physical architecture.
