Sophie’s art practice is centred on printmaking. Drawing influences from architecture and literature, her quiet and minimal compositions often use domestic motifs like homes to explore intimacy, memory and relationships. Sophie plays with tensions between objects, using facades and repeated forms of different textures and density. These works come from a series of etchings she completed in 2017, entitled ‘Close Distance’. The work was made in the months after her father died from an eight year battle with Motor Neurone Disease and reflect the feelings she and her family were processing at that time including that of grief, closeness and isolation.
