Sophie Bottomley: The Shape of the Mouth
The work of Sophie Bottomley focuses just as much on the interior as on the exterior in a brilliant exposition of its own guts.
Overview
It's hard to find sculptures that focus just as much on the internal as they do the exterior. The work of Sophie Bottomley does just this however, with pieces that explore their own guts while showing off visually seductive frames. With lush, repetitive surfaces, alluding to the artists hand, Bottomley places her attention on what lies underneath, in and around her pieces - check some out here.
Now you can see Sophie Bottomley's work for yourself at Spiro Grace Art Room for her exhibition The Shape of the Mouth. The pieces on show will be transformed everyday materials that investigate the relationship between interior and exterior, form, scale, colour, light and surface, and do so in a way that invokes a strong corporeal and visceral response.
The opening night for The Shape of the Mouth will be Thursday August 7, kicking off at 6pm, and the exhibition will run until August 30.
