Can’t remember to forget you

Sophie Brown’s work seeks to identify the physically indefinable moment or space between thought and action, dialogue and emotion, the private and the public, and the meeting point between physical and mental space. She employs text, photography, music, video, drawing and actions, to make romantic whimsical gestures and discreet interventions, finding the pretty and poetic not just in the in the everyday but in the simplest moments of the everyday. Her work is free of any grand headache-inducing bravado, but rather is soaked in an innocent and transient modesty. She also explores the current and historical impact that music of multiple genres has on people, and plays with the effects of the element of performance of a live show and the untruths of a musician’s persona.

To Capture an Audience

Since 2000 she has collaborated with the Norwegian artist Cathrine Evelid on films: ‘It’s Time to Give In’ an exercise in failure and the desperation, hope and freedom that failing on a large scale can bring and ‘To Capture an Audience’ a tribute to Thin Pahn, made with rock band Tomahawk Siren.
