Sophie Victoria

Sophie Victoria is an Australian multidisciplinary artist residing in Eora/Sydney.

 

Sophie process derives from an insatiable curiosity for understanding and comprehending her outer and inner world. Sophie’s current practice explores the materiality of light and human experience. Using materials that play with light, she produces theatrical, immersive and visually arresting works that bring an ineffable, sensory experience. Victoria’s practice comments on a primal connection that humans have towards light and dark materials and contextualises it in the contemporary space. Where luminescent objects like screens increasingly invade, homogenise and agent our procession through time and space; arguably, as they always have.
