Sophie Smallhorn started working sculpturally by creating wall-mounted compositions in coloured sections, from the remnants of materials she used for making furniture. The forms of her wall works are small, simple, clean and geometric. Geometry and saturated colour are centre stage in her compositions, combined and contrasted depending on her intuitive sense of play.
For Cure3 her sculpture D’ is a very personal dedication to her father who died of Parkinson’s disease, yet the composition and scale is very much in keeping with her practice: “My work explores the relationship between colour, volume and proportion. This cube format was an opportunity to play with the confinement of shapes and the accidental voids created by the negative space in between the forms. It was interesting to explore the idea of this fragile disposable material being housed and protected with the box and how each form supports, props and holds the next”
