Sophie White sculptures are the result of observations of human behaviour. Her sculpture reflects comradeship, intimacy, vulnerability, and different states of mind. Sophie is particularly intrigued by interaction both between people and between humans and animals or inanimate objects such as musical instruments or bicycles which seem to take on a life of their own. She aims to capture a moment ' be it poignant, incongruous or subtly humorous such as the contrast of the nonchalant professionalism of a violin teacher and the awkwardness of the novice pupil. The stance and gestures make up an important part of Sophie White's sculptures.
Sophie White says of her sculptures: 'The scenes observed are often of people completely absorbed in their own world and oblivious to any onlooker. My sculptures draw the viewers into this world. Whilst endeavouring to create aesthetically satisfying form, my sculptures are also about creating an emotional response. My sculptures excludes features in order not to distract from shape and to avoid personalising the sculpture. The lack of detail and rough texture, also intend to preserve a sense of spontaneity and capture just the essence of our universal human spirit.'
Sophie White is a sculptor who produces sculptures in plaster, life-size, half life-size and smaller. She prefers to cast all her own sculptures having acquired these art skills working at Pangolin Bronze Casting Foundry and Opus Resin Casting Studio.
