Exhibitions

Fifteen years ago, Georgia Cheesman exhibited a series of lino prints celebrating a deep appreciation for the eclectic interiors, corner spaces and coveted spots in The Wheaty, including a much-loved and sold-out edition of the front bar. This August, she returns to her old haunt to exhibit a new love: home, in the Barossa Highlands.

 

Georgia’s highly detailed lino prints carry themes of nostalgia, memory, longing and a sense of place. Each piece takes time to emerge, created slowly from observations and sketches in-situ. Intricate pen drawings become the basis for finely carved blocks, from which limited edition lino prints are pulled by hand through her beloved press.

 

‘Ode To Home’ includes lino prints in which envelopes serve as portals to the visual keepsakes held in Georgia’s mind of unfolding landscapes and the wild beauty of nature. This home is a place that values the past, where time slows to a more considered pace and nature is ever-present.
