An art installation with black clothing hung on a white brick wall, with metal poles and a dog bowl on the floor.

Brooke Georgia’s artworks move between drawing, sculpture, and installation, exploring the poetics of collected and found materials. Her process is one of gleaning, undoing, and reworking — remnants of paper, textiles, metal, ash, and other traces of presence are transformed into new forms.

Each piece carries a history: deterioration becomes repair, repair becomes remaking, and absence is never empty but charged with possibility. The works invite private, embodied encounters, creating moments where memory, loss, and potential coexist.

Through her practice, Georgia investigates cycles of transformation and renewal — crafting objects that are at once delicate and resilient, intimate and expansive, ephemeral yet enduring.
