Sophie Wake
Based on intimate looking and reflection, this series of paintings attempt to explore questions of awareness, identity and the illusion of self…
Painting from just looking and reflecting feels truly authentic and honest. These paintings are stripped of identity and fabrication.
The body is simply an organism, a process, and these paintings attempt to explore the questions of existence, consciousness and identity.
Sophie worked regularly as a professional illustrator for 18 years under the name of Sophie Joyce: www.sophiejoyce.com
However, her recent response to an increasing pull from the heart, and an interest in exploring meditation and insight has lead to a new direction in her work. She now paints prolifically and writes poems to accompany her artworks.
