Untitled, Georgia Gendall, 2019
Ceramics
Georgia is interested in the ways people pass through rural landscapes and how boundaries are encountered and traversed, this set of small ceramic kissing gates are part of a series of works which consider this everyday rural structure. Her interest in the kissing gate is not just as a practical mechanism (for preventing the movement of livestock and allowing walkers to pass through fields), but as a device for measuring social distance, inviting intimacy and friendship.
Through her practice Georgia often pushes practical tools and structures to a comic extreme which begins to unravel the foundations of common place actions. Another example kissing gate created by Georgia this year and sited at Kestle Barton throughout their 2019 summer season, is In Other Words, Darling, a life size structure made up of sequence of kissing gates formed into a circle, through which an audience is invited to travel around and around in circles.
