Christy Georg is an Artist / Adventurer. She received her B.F.A. from the Kansas City Art Institute and her M.F.A. from Massachusetts College of Art. She has worked as a deckhand aboard sailing schooners, thru-hiked the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail and the 500 mile Colorado trail, and cruised the Arctic. Her practice is characterized by utilization of craftsmanship resulting in believable objects that function actually or metaphorically, but with an underlying conceptual absurdity. Endurance and fortitude are consistent themes.
Christy is currently Adjunct professor of sculpture at Santa Fe Community College and an Artist Mentor with the Vermont College of Fine Arts and is a Lecturer in Sculpture at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston at Tufts University.
At MacDowell, she constructed "Punctuation," a kinetic sound sculpture to be included in "Robotic and Emerging Systems," an exhibition at Indiana University in 2006. She also made 34 audio recordings for a future sound installation that will commemorate the legacy of The MacDowell.
