Borderlands
Philip George creates beautifully patterned surfboards with artwork and motifs from the Islamic world. Borderlands is the culmination of 7 years of work carried out by Phillip George within Australia and throughout the Middle East.
The emblematic ‘Inshalla’ (God Willing) surfboards symbolically provide buoyancy in the spaces between borders: the Australian beach and the edges of Western culture, and the Islamic world.
Borderlands celebrates the metaphysical art of Arabic, Ottoman and Persian worlds and the transcendental nature of surfing, of which both traditions speak to the wonder and complexity of the universe.
