ABOUT
SOPHIE
"I am fascinated by human nature. Connection, communication and energy, the overlapping of one person with the next and what happens in this shared space."
Creative Practice
​​​
Sophie believes in the simple, quiet power of human connection, what bonds us as humans and why it is vital in a divisive and increasingly digital age.
The Shapes We Make is a series of paintings and drawings exploring emotional interaction, energetic connection, and the intangible forces of empathy and love. Through simple forms and intuitive gestures, the work invites a broad audience to reflect on shared emotional experiences and the unseen relationships that shape both personal and collective life.
Sophie continually questions the idea of the ‘self’, considering how environment, community, and perspective influence identity and ego in both a physical and spiritual sense. These investigations mirror wider questions about interdependence between people, and between us and the natural world.
Sophie’s practice begins with drawing, using subconscious mark-making that gradually builds into imagery. Each work is unplanned and unique, allowing space for intuition, a quality she sees as essential to fostering deeper social and ecological awareness. Her paintings are inspired by the drawings.
