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 is a framed, limited edition screen-print featuring a poem by Sophie written for our 2026 group exhibition ‘And Other Animals’ (edition no. 1/12). 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. Perhaps for the sake of its magical presence we could temporarily rename this work The Woods?’
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
