Dancing Egrets
Dance of the Great Egrets aims to capture the fluidity and grace of these majestic birds in motion, as they perform their elaborate courtship mating dance.
In their ascension, the egrets embody transformation, a fleeting moment frozen in time, yet alive with energy.
Georgie Seccull is an Australian metal sculptor whose work explores our individual and collective perceptions of polarities in existence, and how these observations inform our reality.
Working meticulously by hand, Seccull transcends stainless steel into fluid expressions of life force, each piece an exploration into the delicate aspects of the natural world through paradox in subject matter and use of materials.
“We are born out of chaos in darkness and come into the light– my process is much the same: I begin with a thousand endless individual shapes of energy and movement strewn across the floor, then working almost like a jigsaw puzzle,
I pick them up one by one and allow each piece to come together organically and reveal the sculpture. It is through this journey of creation, from the unmanifest to the manifest, from chaos into order, that I continue to find myself in awe of the power of surrender and trust in the reconciliation of opposing forces.”
Georgie’s work can be found in private collections and public spaces throughout Australia, has been exhibited in the National Gallery of Victoria as well as been recognised with multiple awards.
