About the Artist

Georgie Mattingley is a visual artist based in Mparntwe (Alice Springs), Central Australia. She works with staged photography, painting, video and ideas of beauty to make society’s hidden spaces more visible. By visually transforming these spaces, her artworks unravel the value systems that repress them and invite a more holistic acceptance of realities that Western society encourages us to avoid.
