GEORGIA BOSELEY is an award-winning Central and Eastern Arrernte artist and researcher living in Naarm. Her practice and research are grounded in resistance. She critiques the ongoing structures of colonial occupation and refuses institutional legibility and the demand to translate herself for settler consumption. Her work is anti-colonial and anti-capitalist, and engages with intergenerational trauma, and the importance of relational being and connection.

Her work documents the complexity and resistance of living as a First Nations person today. Boseley creates contemporary sculptural works using traditional weaving practices, alongside large-scale paintings and ceramic sculptures. Her practice often moves across disciplines and materials, embracing mixed media as a third place, a space of experimentation. Her works are held in private collections across the country and in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria. She is currently studying a Master of Contemporary Art at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA).

Alongside her artistic practice, Georgia runs WUDTJAMEEN, facilitating weaving workshops at festivals, community events, schools and within corporate cultural awareness programs. She also runs BOSELEY DESIGNS, a homewares and jewellery label that sits alongside her studio practice—an accompanying space where design and making extend her commitment to material storytelling and connection into everyday objects.

This handwoven bowl features beautiful shades of blue and an emu feather rim.

The raffia was sourced from a cultural weaving workshop held by the artist on Survival Day 2024. The scraps of blue raffia, many people’s efforts at learning the art of basket-weaving, was then collected by the artist and wove into this bowl.

This work was displayed at Linden New Art’s Postcard Show from 7 December - 2 February 2024.
