Neon Parc is excited to announce ‘P.L.U.R’ a solo exhibition by Georgia Morgan in South Yarra. Referencing the rave culture acronym for Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, ‘P.L.U.R’ is an exhibition of ten new ceramic sculptures that act as artefacts for Georgia’s understanding of her family’s history, self and connection to the world around her.

The artist’s colour palette, use of symbols, story telling and the physical presence of her new-but-old sculptural forms combine so that the work itself becomes an offering to and evidence of Georgia’s experience of spirituality, ancestors, being alive and dreaming.

Georgia Morgan is a Tamil Australian artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans installation, photography, video, painting and ceramics. She describes her work as “devotional and aspirational” with roots in storytelling and Hindu custom of puja, a form of worship that involves offering physical objects—such as gold, fruit or flowers—to an image of a god. As Morgan explains “sometimes gold foil or plastic fruit or flowers are offered. This doesn’t detract from the value of worship, as it is the conviction of the action that matters. This knowledge and use of material are consistent in my practice. It is what I say it is. You believe, cause I believe.”

Georgia Morgan is currently a studio artist at Gertrude Contemporary. In 2020, she was awarded both a Commendation Prize and the People’s Choice Award in the Churchie Emerging Art Prize. In 2021, Georgia won the Tasmanian Women’s Art Prize (Emerging) and has had works acquired by Artbank and private collections throughout Australia. She has held solo exhibitions at TCB, Melbourne; Conners Conners, Melbourne; First Draft, Sydney; Milani Gallery, Brisbane and Bett Gallery, Hobart.
