Georgia Arnold is a Tāmaki-based multidisciplinary artist working intuitively across a range of mediums, including drawings, ceramics, painting, metalwork and sculpture. 

In her current exhibition at Melanie Roger Gallery, Retreat, Arnold draws inspiration from her time spent house-sitting in Pukekohe, letting her semi-rural surroundings, new routines, and everyday encounters inform the direction of a new body of mixed media drawings and sand cast charms. Using her art-making as an escape from conflict and a canvas for healing, the works embrace the chaos, tension, and potential for a messy, expressive, and loud autobiography, obscuring the subjects of her introspection in the process.
