Hudson is an interdisciplinary artist embodying the relationship between the othered female body, esoteric ecologies and lunar/solar temporalities. Tethered to the wheel of the year, choosing to engage in a practice which can be viewed as cyclical, intuitively mystical and site responsive, her art-making is actively engaged with encountering the other-than-human and allowing for entangled patterns of being to exist. Her work is Informed by a life long magickal practice.
' I enact rites, actions and pilgrimages, at times private – at times as public interactive performance - which all feed back into an exhibited practice.
Working on multiple layered durational projects, I use materials which are consciously both permanent and transient, as well as site/time dependent, such as earth/clay, ash, human hair and plant matter.
I intentionally weave these material elements together to create inherently animate pieces based on communion with other worlds `

As an interdisciplinary artist based between Stockholm and London. Geraldine participates specifically at the intersections of site, ecological realignment and otherness regarding the relationship between witchcraft/folklore/myth and the female body. This manifests as performance, sculptural installation, short film, soundscapes and participatory workshops
Drawing from initial psychogeographic based work which was concerned with archetypes of the wild, sexuality and transgression in relation to carnival/ritual, place and event, Geraldine's practice has gradually evolved to acknowledge her own relationship to esoteric and lost knowledges,as experiential research rather than anthropological study, in this way she questions the notion of consensus reality, blurring the lines between fact and fiction.
She is currently on the part time MFA fine art programme at Goldsmiths, where she is constructing work around reclaiming a rightful relationship between the body and land, which was severed in the aftermath of the European Witch Trials and later the Industrial Revolution.
Her research is concerned, respectively with interspecies experiences which arise through various devotional land pilgrimages - alongside a metaphysical banishing of the enclosures and spells of reclamation for wrongs enacted against women during the burning times in 16/17th C England.
Working on location with these sites and sourcing the raw material whilst bringing historical plant lore into the contemporary, lays the foundation for transformative manifestation, an acknowledgement and recognition of injustices against othered women.
By eschewing a capitalist methodology and instead opting to work intuitively she attempts to create new mythologies, concerned with communal ritual as a conduit for reacquaintance with land, spirit and other biological kin, in this way facilitating experiences of psycho-topographic, cyclical entanglement. With a strong assertion that art can become a conduit for ecological regeneration, through a phenomenology of animism and cosmological accordance.
