Sock puppet Georgia! A zebra, not a failed horse. Georgia’s delightful urge to anthropomorphise everything (thank autism). Who even needs human friends, with their silly social rules that I can’t understand (thanks autism again) when you can have sock puppets!

About the artist:
Georgia Laughton is a Bendigo based visual artist working in a variety of media, with a focus on photography and oil painting. The existential crisis that comes with the realisation that ‘it’s always later than we think,’ greatly influences Laughton’s artworks. While Laughton strongly believes in art as a form of activism, her work remains personal, grounded and sometimes whimsical as she explores her own place in the world as an autistic artist. Expressing the tension between the didactic and the intimate in her paintings, she points to her recurring theme of birds; ‘sometimes it’s a metaphor and sometimes it’s just a bird’.
