I’m an abstract/contemporary artist working with paint, mixed media, photography and found objects.
The fodder for my art-making: a love of abstract expressionism and colour field painting and a fascination with the vastness of time and the marvel that we exist.
NEWS & EXHIBITIONS
- Upcoming exhibition: About Time opens August 29, 2026, at beautiful ArtPod Gallery in downtown Metchosin. Delighted to have had three pieces accepted. Exhibit runs now through to October 18. Hours: Fri-Sun, 11-4.
- A project that’s become its own Creature and won’t be hustled out the door. June 30 marked 3 years (1,096 days) since I began my slow-motion studio project This Is How It Goes: By Change and By Chance. The idea: To model in real time the transformation of a life day by day. Planned originally for 400 days, then 800, this 36×36-inch life has easily kept pace with all the change and random subtractions. It laughs at an announced end. We now carry on, each of us, living and transforming in parallel. Updates at: instagram.com/georgina.montgomery.art
Day 1,097, July 1, 2026. This Is How It Goes: By Change and By Chance. - Art residency: Savoured my time at the Tree House AiR, in Sointula, Malcolm Island BC, May 2026. Stitched and painted a new timepiece and took it into the field every day to capture it living in the moment, being one with the surroundings.
- Ongoing in and out of the studio: This Sweet Interlude: Timepieces. The idea: To visually model our ephemeral existence as considered against the big markers of geologic and human histories. Process: For a pre-set period (weeks, month, year), I create a hand-stitched “timepiece”—a stand-in presence for my own existence—on a gauzy fabric. At intervals I take the timepiece into the landscape to photograph it interacting with the natural elements and surroundings. The resulting images capture this presence having its moments, just as all the other presences before it have had in the very same spot. Images and videos at: instagram.com/georgina.montgomery.art
