Gork and Gimble are gargantuan tropical sweethearts and if seen, will proudly display their wonderful plumage and squawk the songs of their native land to you. After falling madly in love with Jim Henson’s Big Bird, at the early age of two years old, Gork and Gimble are Georgina’s tribute to the big unforgettable yellow bird.

The Enormous Crocodile Costume was commissioned to celebrate International Roald Dahl Day, with The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre, in Great Missenden, 2013. 

The roaming crocodile surprised the public visiting Roald Dahl's garden in Buckinghamshire, with his snapping jaws at the event in 2013.

The Imaginary Animal Competition asked visitors to the Natural History Museum at Tring to draw inspiration from the museum’s permanent zoology collections, to draw their very own imaginary animals. 

From the winning drawing, I created a large, wearable, dramatic costume from the original drawing, bringing the animal to life through a roaming performance that took place at the museum. The Hoobee was seen roaming around the museum's galleries on Thursday 21st August, alongside the museum's original founder Lionel Walter Rothschild.

Final exhibition of work from the 2018 START project in the Millennium Gallery Sheffield where work was created by pupils from Bankwood, Gleadless and Woodhouse West Primary Schools. The exhibition presents a series of giant puppets adorned with patchwork capes made by the children, who each contributed a piece of material decorated with things that are important to them. Also on display was over 300 sock puppet portraits, reflecting how we present ourselves to the outside world.
