Georgie Gerrard is a creator of sculptural mycelium objects and furniture pieces.
Georgie's work is heavily focused on process and material choice. A core element of her practice lies in choosing materials responsibly, considering their environmental impact and lasting effect post-use.
Her graduate project, 6 Locations is a collection of sculptural vessels grown from mycelium, her first exploration into this sustainable material. Each mycelium sculpture is based on a place significant to Georgie and her family - Devon, Surrey, Dorset, Bolton, Leicestershire and Bolivia - and grown using substrates connected to those regions, including cotton, alpaca wool, sheep wool, charcoal, straw and locally dug clay.
Commissioned by Nina+Co, Georgie created three sculptural plinths in mycelium for Big., a beauty store in Hackney designed with a material palette inspired by natural skincare ingredients such as clay, seaweed and mushroom extracts. For the launch of &Soul’s first site in Southall, a co-living conscious community, Georgie was commissioned to create bespoke mycelium furniture and sculptural pieces.
