Artist Statement
Rollo Timothy Geroge is an artist living in Norwich, England. His labour-intensive sculptural work questions the speed and shallowness of everyday life. Using timber, ceramics, and analogue photography he establishes simulacrums to disturb the memory and materiality we are subconsciously reading, aiming to create a slowed viewing experience of known objects. An analogue obsession allows for a lack of control in Timothy George’s current series ‘Public Access’, whilst also displaying the optical familiarity we are filtered daily. Craft techniques demonstrate how slow-paced work adds value to each piece. His Aphantasia creates an inability to form mental images of objects that are not present, consequently forming a necessity to generate representations, comprehending how semiotics shift in these new renderings.
