Georgia DICKIE (b.1989) makes sculptural work out of found objects that she collects as part of an ever-growing “inventory” of urban debritage. For the past decade, this inventory has maintained a process-oriented practice that highlights her hands-on dedication to the humblest materials. By staging these intricate assemblages, she not only reveals the inherent limitations of material value and meaning, but subverts the ways we are conditioned to see the world.

Born in Toronto, Canada, DICKIE earned her BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design University in 2011. She was one of the recipients of the 2020 Sobey Art Award, the 2014 recipient of the Toronto Friends of the Visual Arts Artist Prize, and has received several visual arts grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, and Toronto Arts Council. She has participated in solo and group exhibitions internationally.

DICKIE has been awarded Visual Arts Fellowships at the Vermont Studio Center (2024) and the Fine Arts Work Center (2022-2023), and served as artist-in-residence at Est Nord Est, résidence d’artistes (2022) and at Acme Studios AiR Program (2014-2015).
Her work has been featured in Artforum, Frieze Magazine, Elle Canada, Canadian Art Magazine, among others. DICKIE’s most recent body of work utilizes discarded cardboard boxes that self-contain collage and sculptural assemblage made predominantly from scavenged detritus. She currently lives and works in Toronto.
