Paper Constructions
Georgia has made three paper constructions based on traditional Scottish children’s cradle songs: Rest My Ain Bairnie, O Can Ye Sew Cushions and the Skye Boat Song. The original musical scores are deconstructed, delicately incised and suspended in layers within a perspex box. A good way of exposing old and
almost forgotten Scottish nursery rhymes in a contemporary context, the work appeals to people of all ages.
I wanted the pieces of art to be something the kids could look at with their parents or nurses, and read or sing together. It made me very pleased to know there was a group of nurses gathered round them singing the Skye Boat Song one day when my aunt went to visit.
