Georgia Zwartjes is inspired to create art from the remnants of everyday life, using materials outside the realm of traditional fibers. Many of her works incorporate recycled and found items such as tea bags, coffee filters, wire, and candy wrapper – that when put together, construct a story or theme that reaches beyond the materials themselves. Her “sculptural garment” works represent ethnic forms and patterns, while suggesting the role of globalization in our daily consumption.
MAYA – Recycled and found: coffee filters, Guatemalan textile remnants, telephone cord, foil candy wrappers, wool

Private CollectionI am inspired to create art from the remnants of everyday life, using materials outside the realm of traditional fibers. I find gems in the ordinary and transform them into textural surfaces and sculptural forms.
