This weeks winner of 'Artist of The Week' is Georgina Hoar



Congratulations!



Georgina Hoar is a 22 year old Art Student from Cambridge School of Art.




Georgina's artwork started off by looking at texture, colour/lack of colour and the use of old and recycled materials.  In doing so, she discovered a particular interest in used old tyres.


In June last year, a trip to the Le Mans 24 hour race in France provided another discovery...her love for the BMW art car.  Once back at home, this encouraged her to research and delve deeper into the production of art cars.

Summer last year granted the time to experiment and work on her own VW Beetle.  In the middle of restoration, Georgina decided to paint sections of the car panels and was deeply inspired by the outcome.





After this creative process, Georgina decided to further explore the significance of old car parts, and bought 3 VW camper dials, a feature that is not typically sought after by your everyday car part collector.  This extended her mode of creative production where she then implanted the redundant objects into Glasswax.

Working with a variety of materials including Vinynamold, Georgina has artistically transformed the existence of the diffused objects into delicate Glasswax sculptures.
