SOPHIE WAKE

Sophie's fine art practice responds to the quiet rhythms of meditation and ancient tree tea ceremony which has become a fundamental companion to her creative approach. Working from her studio in South West Devon, she creates through quiet reflection, guided by somatic experience her work tends to be instinctive and intuitive, each piece an automatic process of deep self enquiry. Her work is suffused with the spiritual influences of rock art and ancient ceramics which are channeled throughout her collections, celebrating the power of raw emotion in simple and authentic forms. 

Working with oil or oxides on canvas or gouache on paper, imbuing a liminal quality and a sense of in-betweenness her process dwells in intangible wordlessness.

More recently Sophie’s ceramic works have become an exciting addition to her practice. Vessels are hand built and fired with local Cornish and Devon earths and oxides.
