Screen print, 72 × 51.5cm, edition of 12
Sophie Herxheimer is a London-based artist and poet whose practice spans drawing, writing, collage, printmaking and performance. Using primarily analogue processes, she creates thought-provoking, witty work which explores memory, heritage and culture through storytelling.
This new, framed limited edition screen-print features a collection of animals and letters. In Sophie’s words:
‘Sydenham Hill Wood is a favourite place for myself, my family and our dog.
When I was thinking about this show, and local animals, I decided to begin with a poetry constraint, and started to look for all the animal names I could create from the letters of ‘Sydenham Hill Wood’. I was surprised to find a hyena, a whale and a few swine, as well as all the other beasts you see depicted. The only likely local one I drew was the toad, and when I looked again, of course there is no T in Sydenham Hill Wood.
Please note that this framed work will not be available until 2 August.
