​

DIRECTOR / ARTIST

​

Alongside her commercial work, Sophie is a multi-disciplinary, experimental visual artist specialising in creating immersive video art. Characterised by bright mesmeric hues and melancholic figure expressions, her work blurs the lines between memory and hallucination. 

The cinematic landscape is one of the things at the forefront of her work, visually and thematically: Road trips, death, escapism, dualism and visuals incorporate and intertwine lived experiences with filmic hyperrealities. 

​

Harnessing new techniques and traditional methods, Sophie's work spans everything from AI, to analogue video synths, paint, photography to 16mm film.
