Measuring the Wind, 2023

'Measuring the Wind', Nicholas Thompson Gallery, Melbourne
25 October – 11 November 2023
Installation images: Tim Gresham

'Grappling with the tensions between the organic and the geometric, stasis and action, containment and freedom, Measuring the Wind employs George’s unique visual language to experiment with his own personal and changeable laws of cosmic arrangement … organic forms cavorting with geometries, sounding off against one another across the canvas and across the room'
—— Laura Skerlj, excerpt from catalogue essay 'Sinuous Geometry'.
