Georgia Morgan: Opening and Closing Events

Join us Thursday 6 of March and Saturday 12 April in celebrating Georgia Morgan’s Nothing’s forever cause everything is.

Nothing’s forever cause everything is brings together two bodies of work that explore the persistence of memory, language, and ritual beyond–and perhaps through–processes of physical erasure. Dreams and Effigies (to be burnt) (2022), a series of works on paper created just before Morgan’s residency at Gertrude, is presented alongside new paintings that assume a three-dimensional presence. These new works draw from the artist’s immediate environment and the Hindu philosophies of pragmatism—working with what is at hand—and the infinite cycle of creation and dissolution. Their surfaces have been intuitively built up and stripped back through the application of colour, layering, erasure, and obscuration. Across both bodies of work, and in the studio, Morgan reconfigures destruction as a generative force of ritual and regeneration.

On the opening and closing days of Nothing’s forever cause everything is, Morgan will cook and serve traditional Tamil food in the gallery space with family and friends.
