The exhibition reflects upon concepts of identity, spirituality, space and the everyday form in order to challenge our expectations and assumptions of the lived experience. Including a variety of mediums such as photography, installation, sculpture and drawing, the exhibition explores alternative ways in which the vision of an object can be shaped and interpreted, questioning the way we connect with it as a form, and as an idea. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9bd/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9c7/5451594ae4b0eabdd7415fe9/1546035517157/Dad%27s+shadow+close.JPG FINISHED - Martin George "In Dad's shadow" Guys often feel like this, the shadow doesn't match the monument. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9bd/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9c7/564b98d3e4b0bc06bda03271/1543020865057/GoldBling-3670.jpg FINISHED - Gold Bling Public art in the Greater City of Dandenong, Halpin Way   https://static1.squarespace.com/static/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9bd/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9c7/5567c8a2e4b02586b2088cbe/1546028144029/IMG_8688.JPG FINISHED - Martin George "Embrace" stainless steel 1/1 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9bd/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9c7/5603a11be4b0dc68f61c9d35/1546035166954/MGeorge_sculpture_-%C2%AEsmg_9155_small.jpg FINISHED - Martin George "Pirouette" Stainless steel, hand burnished, free rotating base https://static1.squarespace.com/static/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9bd/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9c7/564b972ae4b0bd686503591e/1488241426630/dislocated_element_square.JPG FINISHED - Martin George, dislocated element https://static1.squarespace.com/static/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9bd/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9c7/566dd4f5bfe87338d218e672/1546028105569/ FINISHED - Martin George Breaking Classicism Interred Carrara marble, found weight.

The piece captures a lounging female form in bronze left only partially visible but with the invitation to participate in an archaeological dig to reveal the work. The piece takes the form of a relic practically and conceptually. This is a relic of a former relationship, memories exhumed through the help of others revealing something beautiful that was buried. Started by the artist, completed once unearthed by the viewer.

The visible parts of the sculpture suggest a larger structure beyond our view, looking to our imagination to envisage its final form. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/516a6f8ee4b0e454d773e9bd/516a7f50e4b0af9d19e434af/5723d90cf85082b93e03d25c/1543877333282/ Martin George front page - Enthalpy sucks Buffeted by nature and time, the structure heads inexorably toward being consumed.
