Sophie Milner is a London based artist and writer. Her practice explores interrelations between poetic symbolism, gesture and narrative within painting, drawing upon both historic and personal symbolism to explore moments of biomorphic or psychological change. Her work functions to both encourage and disrupt the narratives she engages with, as a means of encouraging the viewer into a liminal engagement with the webs of associated imagery she interweaves. The resulting scenes are often filled with a sense of biological restlessness, that toy with the languages associated with violence and stillness, the figurative and abstract, and the self as perceived and felt.
