Angulate

Angulate

This piece has strong  architectural elements to me, which is no surprise as I've always been inspired by house plans, building materials, and architectural movements.

The Structura series draws inspiration from architectural floor plans and the way simple lines and angles evolve into three-dimensional forms, often resulting in architectural works of significance in their own right.

No two works in the Structura collection are alike. Each piece is constructed from unique materials, many of which are over 100 years old, lending a distinct history and material presence to the work. A key influence on the series is one of Sophie’s favourite artists, Piet Mondrian, whose transitional works increasingly allowed colour and form to operate independently—a principle that strongly resonates within Sophie’s practice.

Careful material sourcing and a considered use of colour are central to Sophie’s work. Timber is selected to retain its original condition and natural colour palette, allowing the inherent qualities of the material to guide the final composition.

Angulate measures 400 mm (H) × 550 mm (W) and is constructed from reclaimed Kauri sarking and mataī flooring.
