Teelah George

Teelah George’s multidisciplinary approach encompasses painting, drawing, installation, sculpture and textiles. Her work often employs collections and archives as a point of departure and reflects her interest in peripheral materials and ideas. Residing in Perth, she has drawn inspiration from her family history — employing a memoir that recounts the lives of abattoir workers in Wyndham in the early 1900s. She has explored fine art and social history collections such as the Cruther’s Collection of Women’s Art which is housed at the University of Western Australia. For her forthcoming solo exhibition at Orexart in Auckland she will continue her engagement with oral history. Teelah’s work is held in the collections of the Art Gallery of Western Australia, the City of Joondalup, the Cruther’s Collection of Women’s Art and the University of Western Australia.
