Sophie Cordery

Press release

 The AA2A (Artist Access to Art College) project is a national set of schemes, providing visual artists and designer makers with the opportunity to undertake a period of research or realise a project, using workshop and supporting facilities in fine art and design departments of Higher and Further Education institutions. This gives participating artists and makers the opportunity to use equipment which otherwise might not be available to them, as well as benefiting the institution by bringing in ideas and techniques which may not otherwise enter the college environment.



SOPHIE CORDERY will use her residency at UH (as part of the AA2A programme) to develop an experimental new body of work combining paintings and print. The work will evolve organically from a few core ideas, roughly based on the themes of houses, interiors and domesticity, exploring the idea of a sense of place. By depicting everyday objects such as chairs and empty rooms, she wants to evoke familiarity and poetic possibilities. (posted on 18/11/2012)
