Georgia Morgan is a Tamil Australian artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans installation, photography, video, painting and ceramics. She describes her work as ‘devotional and aspirational’ with roots in storytelling and the Hindu custom of puja, a form of worship that involves offering physical objects—such as gold, fruit or flowers—to an image of a god. As Morgan explains ‘sometimes gold foil or plastic fruit or flowers are offered. This doesn’t detract from the value of worship, as it is the conviction of the action that matters. This knowledge and use of material are consistent in my practice. It is what I say it is. You believe, cause I believe.’
Georgia Morgan currently works from her North Melbourne studio, following her residency in the Gertrude Studio Program (2023-25). In 2020, she was awarded both a Commendation Prize and the People’s Choice Award in the Churchie Emerging Art Prize. In 2021, Georgia won the Tasmanian Women’s Art Prize (Emerging) and has had works acquired by Artbank and private collections throughout Australia. She has held solo exhibitions at Neon Parc, Naarm Melbourne; TCB, Naarm Melbourne; Conners Conners, Naarm Melbourne; First Draft, Eora Nation Sydney; Carpark, Milani Gallery, Meanjin Brisbane; and Bett Gallery, Nipaluna Hobart.
