“Georgia Russell: Unknown remedy II, 2013. (Cut paper; plexiglass)” / Galerie Karsten Greve AG St. Moritz / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.13859
Georgia Russell (b. 1974) is a Scottish artist who slashes, cuts and dissects printer matters, music scores, maps, books, newspapers and photographs into beautiful sculpted forms.
This particular piece caught my attention mostly as it bears resemblance to African masks—though its execution is abstract in nature. In some ways it reminded me of the “OMG LOL” sculpture by Michael Mandiberg [1] which I saw in 2009 at Eyebeam in New York. Both use a large hard cover book as their raw materials; both cut them out and turn them into something else. But Manidberg’s piece is one which talks specifically to the technological generation which we are in, where as Russell’s piece is organic in its formation and subconsciously references history in my own memory.
Another fine example of how an everyday object transformed through pure imagination into one such is fantastically extraordinary. Crazyisgood. SML Love.
Georgia Russell studied Fine art at Aberdeen University and the Royal College of Art and is a visiting lecturer at universities and art schools.
