Sophie Durand

Sophie Durand is an artist and researcher. Sophie’s multi-disciplinary practice extends from the intersection of sculpture and performance art and draws from anecdotal histories and archives of landscape for subject matter. Currently she is looking at strategies to reposition her artworks within environmental settings and to work more empathetically with ecological systems. This inquiry is approached using a practice historically engaged in memory and archive as form where encounters set narratives in motion and generate into larger investigations, collections and networks of meaning through a diverse range of methods. Alongside her research Sophie is developing through teaching two curriculums; Field Practice and Collective Ecologies at the Vilnius Academy of Arts and has a shared Junior Researcher position with Miki Ambrozy to develop Landing, a new platform for artistic research.
