The new works of SOFT POWER invite viewers to experience the artist’s explorations of materials, color and forms in new mixed media works. Assemblages of ordinary materials use abstraction to message inner subjective experiences and outer realities into new works.

Each work holds an evolution of ideas resulting from the artist’s playful regard for working with and against materials and processes. Her materials for these works include second-hand fibers, colored rocks, tape, drop-cloth canvas, burlap, rubber cut-offs, found wood, speakers, and re-used artworks. George has layered, wrapped, tufted, folded, propped, torn out, undone, leaned, glued and painted. The works are set on the ground, hanging high, set in the middle, leaning. With gestures of chance and skill, these works convey holding and transmitting, interior and exterior, darkness and light. Color, texture, form and weight become configurations that question notions of stability, impermanence and strength.
