‘SELF-TAUGHT METHODS OF WORKING- FOLLOWING INTUITION AND REFLECTING UPON HIS OWN EXPERIENCE OF HOW HIS MATERIAL PRESENTED ITSELF TO HIM AND HOW THIS MAY BE PERCEIVED IN THE WIDER WORLD’
Robert George, based in Northamptonshire, has worked as an arborist for over a decade, studying, climbing and being in contact with wood in its rawest form – day in, day out and come rain or shine gives him a unique relationship with the work he creates. Provenance is at the heart of every piece, the journey from camaraderie and brilliant teamwork on site to insular and meditative in the studio is encapsulated in his work.
