Sophie IngramBorn in United Kingdom. Lives in: Falmouth
University College Falmouth
My work is a step away from traditional abstract painting into installation. My work is not media specific; it is my Romantic aesthetic which makes my work visually consistent. I am drawn to old battered objects with their own histories, suggestive of a domesticity. I am influenced by literature -Virginia Woolf and the poets T.S Eliot and Philip Larkin. The veiled way in which poetry connects with the viewer is something I recognize within my own work and want to manipulate further in the future. Use of subdued colour, form and abstract patterning are significant within the things I make.

Work of art I would like to makeI am interested in my disconnected relationship with my viewer, the veiled way in which I, as the artist, interact with him or her. In my previous work I have tried to suggest time and place in obscure ways. Now I want to directly play with the tenuousness I have previously employed in conveying meaning. I want to make experiential installations which interact and engage; incorporating elements of search and discovery.
Visually I want to touch on the surreal by using uncanny placement of components. I want to borrow from interior design by the use of the domestic and familiar, for example through manipulating games and household equipment like washing lines and crockery. I want retain my romantic aesthetic through patterns and objects from my own past.
