‘Here is a thought to hold on to during the twists and turns that follow. Thinking, which is properly nothing and nowhere, can only lay hold of itself in the form of a thing. When we think about thinking, we must think about it as though it were some kind of thing. But not just anything will do, for it seems that it needs to be a special kind of thing, a thing apt to embody thought- a thinking thing.’ 1 Sophie presents her work in multidisciplinary installations characterised by an emphasis on analogue photographic practices and sculptural elements. Her work is concerned with material experimentation and the transitional properties of matter. It explores the negotiable delicate balance of things in this world and the constancy of change. Sophie investigates invisible forces, particularly that of thought and thinking and creates works that are near nothings, that fold in on themselves and become reflexive precarious things. These quasi objects have a life of their own and they offer a condensed microcosm of the daily interchanges of the wider world. 1 Connor, Steven. Thinking Things.
