Statement: Sophie Giller is an artist working across the mediums of sculpture, textiles, expanded painting and installation. Her work emphasises process, labour, care, domesticity, hierarchies of art mediums, emotion, and the social history of everyday materials.
Her practice involves collecting and reacting to materials autobiographically and intuitively, and she’s interested in the sentimentality and emotion preserved in leftover items. Recently, she has been creating site-specific works by researching the historical and social contexts of place, architecture and location and making installations that resound and relate to the interior features of the space.
Her work explores the ‘in-between’: the boundaries and ambiguities between different art disciplines and material media. She combines various methods, concepts and contexts across different bodies of work – particularly those that work with history and multimedia making processes across sculpture, textiles and expanded painting.
Bio: Sophie Giller (b.1992, Norfolk) completed a BA in Painting at Camberwell College of the Arts and an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art (2021).
