Sophie Meyer (b. 1972, London) works across sculpture, photography and textiles.
Currently an MFA candidate at Goldsmiths, she previously worked in feature film production. Inspired by a preoccupation with relational and psychological (un)safety, cognitive dissonance and slippages of meaning, her works allude to that which might be unsayable and disallowed.
Addressing assumptions around who feels empowered to take up space, and the dynamics of who holds the feelings, her self-image is deployed to investigate what makes us feel contained or constrained, exposed or concealed – pondering the disquieting comforts and discomforts of those states of being.
