THE SACRED ACRE

Georgina King

3 May – 21 June

Georgina presents a body of work that has emerged from the threshold where the land meets the sea, a highly charged zone with its own rhythms of loss and renewal. Always in flux, this is a powerful place of vision and healing. Through walking, painting and fully immersing herself in the landscape, Georgina collaborates with the elements and natural pigments as a direct response to the land’s energy. This exhibition invites viewers to engage with this transitional space and reflect on how we can reclaim the sense of the sacred in nature and ourselves.

Inspired by “Bee Story,” a unique paper-cut pollinator garden design created for Will Bees Bespoke, Emma has developed The Garden Gallery, drawing on her 18 years of experience as Head of the Liberty fabric design studio. This imaginative collection is a vibrant celebration of flora and fauna, featuring illustrations that reflect her passion for nature and showcase her artistic talent. The artwork is drawn and painted on various materials, including boxes, vintage wallpaper, reclaimed slate, and bee bricks that encourage biodiversity, creating a harmonious blend of art and ecology.
