Sophie Woodrow’s porcelain figures have been collected by devoted private patrons for over ten years and can be seen on display in numerous high-profile galleries throughout the UK. We are excited that she has exclusively created these five one-off pieces for The Menagerie Exhibition.
Sophie was drawn to working with clay from an early age. A graduate of the prestigious Falmouth College of Art she has refined an intricate labour-intensive technique involving coiling, incising and impressing to create a delicately textured surface.
Pursuing an interests in natural history, Sophie has looked particularly at our continually shifting theories of evolution. With an interest in the Victorians and their exploration of nature, these one-off porcelain sculptures resemble the hybrid creatures found deep in the archive of Victorian medical collections.
These creatures are not visitors from other worlds, but the ‘might have beens’ of this world.
The five pieces are available from The Menagerie Exhibition -under Sophie Woodrow
