Jamie George's work intends to reframe the relationships between public and private, inhabited and vacant. He works with reclaimed materials, wood, plastics, fabrics, found objects and ultimately 'place', producing works that are decontextualised and yet re-inform the space around them.
'I am interested in the materials not as an expression of their singularity or as the expression of their social value, but rather a hybrid of the two.'
Time and surface are both important elements in the work - that the patina on the object should express both an understanding of its age (even if that has been manufactured) and its function - and that the encounter with the object is a self-conscious one.
'I often wonder if my work is paralysed - although the production processes are robust, the resulting objects often appear exposed'.
