Georgia Metaxas lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. Her work sits within a documentary framework, aspects acknowledging her interest in documentary photography and the tension found between ‘artistic’ intent and documentary purpose.

The subjects and methodology of her work come from encounters in her personal and professional life in an ongoing investigation of groups she is connected to and works with; that are around her and therefore come into sight in her work. Often the subjects may be seen as under or misrepresented in the wider community. A central theme in the work has been the manifestations of ritual as she is drawn to rituals both cultural and personal.

Metaxas has participated in a number of group exhibitions Australia wide, including many award exhibitions for which her work has been selected, most recently the Centre for Contemporary Photography’s Documentary Award and 2012 National Portrait Prize, Canberra. She has presented several solo shows around the country and her work is held in both public and private collections including Artbank, City of Yarra Arts & Heritage Collection, La Trobe Picture Collection; State library of Victoria; Monash Gallery of Art, Wheelers Hill and the Supreme Court of Victoria.
