No. 52: Georgia Henkel - AXIS MUNDI

Georgia Henkel, a recently retired Lexington-based artist, joins host Kate Savage on Art Throb to explore her unique approach to art through the use of organic materials. Georgia delves into her lifetime of collecting bones, body parts, and other found objects from nature, as currently showcased in her collaborative exhibition "Axis Mundi" at the Loudon House. The show, which is ongoing until the 16th of May, features her work alongside fellow artists Lina Tharsing and Liz Swanson. They share a thematic exploration of earthly realms, with Georgia's creations focusing on the earth's elements and below. Her work balances between being intriguing and humorous, as she transforms these remnants into narrative-driven tableaux that evoke both beauty and curiosity. The episode offers an insightful discussion on finding beauty in the macabre and the whimsical nature of her materials, providing listeners a chance to rethink their perception of life and death.For more and to connect with us, visit https://www.artsconnectlex.org/art-throb-podcast.html
