Georgina Downs

Georgina is a Tasmanian collage artist that fuses her 25 years music teaching experience into her art. Her passion for the intricacy of music composition is translated into a vibrant visual language. Having studied counterpoint and harmony for many years she always used collage to further her understanding of musical concepts but it is only in the past few years that her daily art making has begun when she moved her practice to her studio in Collingwood, Melbourne.

Music is a written language that works horizontally and vertically, usually with repeated motifs and rhythm. The overall piece will have a united form. The endless possibilities of pattern and form that music contains gives endless inspiration to work with. Translating that into a visual form gives the artist continuous joy.
