Georgia Naughton

Can a paintings surface evoke a visceral response akin to mouthfeel, activating the senses, provoking saliva?

Metabolising matter and experience into the work of art, distilling endlessly, moving further away from the original while attempting to capture its essence. The volatility of emotion lingers in the material, seeking form without resolution.

How can the work balance on the edge of instability, where internal and external boundaries blur, without collapsing into chaos?
