Most recently, it was used to generate sound and footage for Welcome to My Party: She’s Lost Control Again.

ENTROPIC FORCE: Land Art and the Mortal Frame , 2016 (Install shot)
Archival pigment prints, video, books, dirt, salt, found objects
This body of work documents site responsive activities at various Land Art sites. George contemplates her mortality in the face of breast cancer, the histories of Land Art, and the rebellious and influential artists who created them. Using site as studio, the work considers the ephemerality of both Land Art and her body by visual merging of the two.
