In 2018, Sophie was a finalist in the Churchie National Emerging Art Prize at Queensland University of Technology, and her works have been included in exhibitions internationally. She completed her BFA at the Australian National University School of Art and Design, and is currently completing a Master of Art Curating at the University of Sydney focusing on digital museum culture and internet based practice.
A characteristic of Sophie's art practice is to assign her projects with quotes from cultural icons and literature, modernising and recontextualising historical words, so they sit within a digital contemporary context and relate to her work. This tradition continued with her exhibition at Verge in January 2021 which was titled “Bolero-A Tail of tech support.” This episode explores these ideas plus a lively discussion around making works, tech failures and breaking the internet.
