Georgia Somerville


Statement

Georgia Somerville creates multimedia experiences that invite the viewer to transcend the banal every day and step into depths of her sensual world of shimmering allure and kaleidoscopic hues. Her recent period of spiritual awakening and psychosis has deepened her inquiry into the complexities of the human psyche, Victorian hysteria, fairy tales, ritual, and magic.
