She was curatorial resident at Helsinki International Curatorial Programme, Finland (2017) and Curator in residence with Art Initiative Tokyo (2014-2015). She holds an MA in Art History (20th Century) from Goldsmiths College (2004) and was previously Director of Alison Jacques Gallery. Her research is focused on the phenomenon of ‘inner light’ in historical and contemporary visionary art practices, and an enquiry into vegetal life as ‘enfleshment’ and archetype – as both physical form and symbolic model – of the spiritual journey from darkness into light. Since 2017 Gina has been researching the place of plants within indigenous cultures in Europe and South America, including field work in the Peruvian and Brazilian areas of the Amazon Rainforest.
