Georgia Naughton
Working in painting, installation and video, my practice focuses on the enjoyment of excess and materiality through physical and visual consumption. Sourcing imagery from the Internet and repurposing to create narrative, pleasure addiction, overabundance and purposeless materialism are explored through ideas of good taste and bad taste, perversions, and power.
By disrupting the continuous trail of moving images in our saturated visual landscape, my work aims to slow down digestion and raise questions as to whether we are achieving transcendence in the glut beyond rapture or self-destructing in a spiral of dissociative hedonism.
