 MA Art & Design in Fine Art 

 
Sophie Middleton’s practice utilises an interdisciplinary approach to address the passage of time. As a cancer survivor the artist seeks to construct spaces that offer meditative and thought-provoking glimpses into treatment routines and the process of waiting. These ‘in-between’ moments are those that enable the participant viewer to examine and contemplate mortality.

 

Incorporating hand made transparent clocks, original appointment data and sound to hint at the ‘hospital corridor’ this latest work immerses the participant viewer, not only physically but also mentally into the stasis and suspension that is derived from the artist’s own experience of illness.
