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.

Untitled Woven Placemat (2024) illustrates the branches of connection that are formed when we share a meal. Each of the diners, and the dishes they share, are represented by a placemat – the placemats are then joined with curved woven lines.

This piece was exhibited as part of Melbourne Design Fringe 2024 at Linden New Art, in response to the theme We have shared bread and salt.
