Sophy King

Sophy King is a multidisciplinary environmental artist, investigating the nature-culture continuum through examination of and immersion in a place. Her practice considers the Anthropocene/Planthropocene, Deep Time and Vibrant Matter, examining ecological systems and phenomena in relation to the climate crisis. She has looked at moss, fungi, earth, peat, wildfires and water, investigating their social, economic, and ecological context; exposing the nature of our relationship with the non-human. Her work is entangled with the site-specific, deriving from particular qualities and characteristics of place, acknowledging the species and cultures that inhabit and shape it over time.
