STATEMENT

My art seeks to cut the world apart and put it back together in a new way through collage. I use paper from all different places and found objects of any kind. Common themes in my art include home, love, family, and nature.

BIO

Sophie Duncan grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and currently lives in Providence, Rhode Island. Colour is at the heart of her work. In addition to making paper collages and prints, she has been commissioned to make 3D pieces which include coffee tables, collage murals on doors, and boxes. In addition to making the world a brighter, more colourful place, Sophie is motivated by pressing global issues including climate change and as a biologist, works to communicate science through art. She recently completed a project that visualized sea level rise in Rhode Island through a life-sized collage, relating sea level rise to the human body.
