In this display, space and materiality come together to create an experience that connects broad environments to the intimacy of personal objects. 

Large, open areas that define compositions have come to be characteristic in George’s practice. In some cases, an expanse of space is linked to the physical places where George lives or spends time. In other scenarios, a swath of space is not defined, but is suggestive of a large tabletop, room, sky, or wall.

George is also known for his ongoing exploration of still lifes, showing meaningful objects that he has collected over time. Papers, rocks, cards, vessels, and more are kept for their individual qualities: the shape of a stone, the curve of a bowl, the texture of a book cover. Throughout his studio, George has created thoughtful, small arrangements of these items. The installations are present around every corner - on a tabletop, a bookshelf, in front of a window sill - creating a setting of intrigue and insight.

The subjects of still lifes are anything but still. Their surroundings, relationships with space, and shifting appearances (due, for example, to changing qualities of light) suggest constant change. In a painting, therefore, the depicted moment represents an illusion of stillness. A painting is not a moment of finality, but rather an opportunity to consider how objects exist through time.
