Profile Information

Website: http://www.sophiescaplehorn.com

Relationship status: in a relationship

College / University: University for the Creative Arts, Farnham

Program / Degree: BA Fine Art

Graduation: June 15, 2008

Member type: Artist

If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Conceptual, Drawing, Printmaking, Sculpture

I am...: A graduate who is learning to make it on my own. I'm finding it difficult but am enjoying the challenge of continuing with my work outside the university environment.

About my artwork: My work is concerned with different ways of charting borders, despite –or perhaps because of, their often temporal and elusive nature. The starting point for my drawings is always factual data, especially maps and related demographic information.

Whether I am documenting literal lines drawn on the ground, dealing with territorialism, categorization or exploring mental maps, my interest lies in how people choose to define and categorize their lives, how we, as a race organise everything around us.

Artists I like: Kathy Prendergast, Jonathan Parsons, Stephen Walter, Simon Evans, Rachel Thorlby, Susan Stockwell, Cornelia Parker,

Interests: Cartography, Topography, Drawing,

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: I enjoyed Francis Bacon at the Tate Britain... an obvious choice I know but it deserves a mention.

Centre of the artworld:: London

work work work...

So, I've not updated this thing for 10 months... oh dear.

Still, I'll soon have more time on my hands - I'll be quitting my day job for a few months and moving in with my Dad (i know, i know...) where I will have studio space and no rent to pay!!

Also, November sees the hanging of my first major exhibition since graduation! I'm so excited. I'll be showing mainly old work, but there will be a lot of it up - around 10 pieces I think. I'm doing a new piece especially for the show… Continue

Talking of strange co-incidences I'm sure i've seen your work before somewhere...I'm a fan of old maps so it's really nice to see how you're using them in your work. I think 'here' is booked up til midway through next year, but I'd send your cv in and keep pestering away! I'm not involved in the gallery anymore, but I can give them a prod from time to time.
