Lynley George in much of her work repurposes and recontextualizes the historical predetermination of sinfulness of the female body as viewed through the male gaze.

She explores the embodied life of Woman, attempting to create work that negotiates past ideas of the corporeal and the abject, aiming to unshame and deburden Woman from the weight of the male gaze upon her female physicality, thus allowing an ongoing reinterpretation of the female body.

Always changing through age and cycles, is the body being destroyed or recreated? Is Woman permanently unfinished or permanently becoming?

Lynley George's work celebrates this paradox. Lynley enquires into both the female and male experience of the body as both subject and object and the eccentric nature of human embodiment and it’s ‘twofoldtemporality’ of both being and having a body.
