Phillip George works across a variety of media including digital imaging, computer technology, painting and printmaking to explore issues relating to global conflict and, more specifically, misrepresentations of Arabic culture. In his recent work, Inshalla (2008), surfboards are inscribed with Sunni, Shia, Ottoman and Christian designs. Blurring the distinctions between photography, sculpture, sport and religion, George aims to challenge the borders that divide cultures.
