MCGEORGE, Eline
crwa

Eline McGeorge's art practice explores the complex dynamics between humans and nature in an era where the impact of human activity on the environment is increasingly evident.

crwa is a travel journal that combines texts, video stills, and watercolors. The book interweaves fictional and factual narratives, offering deeper insights into McGeorge's environmental observations.

The watercolors are directly drawn from her sketchbooks, and capture her first-hand encounters with diverse environments, including a vast coal mining landscape in Colombia, indigenous succulents growing in diamond-mined sand in Namibia, and bird cliffs in Northern Norway.

The double-page spreads from her sketchbooks reveal a profound connection with these sites, serving as intimate ‘fieldnotes,’ where the flowing watercolors allow motifs—such as eyes, hands, leaves, and seeds—to transform and merge.
