Bio
​
Based in Eora/Sydney, Sophie Clague works at the intersection of sculpture and installation, navigating the subtle tensions between figuration and abstraction, drawing and object-making, stillness and movement. Her practice is grounded in a deep engagement with materiality. Where the quiet presence of matter becomes a site for exploring embodiment, memory and spatial relationships. Appearing part human, part creature, part system, her skeletal forms suggest a kind of internal architecture usually hidden beneath skin, padding, or matter.
​
Holding an MFA from the University of Sydney & a BFA (Hons) from UNSW, Clague has exhibited widely across public & commercial spaces to include Sculpture by the Sea, Alaska Projects & Firstdraft. Winner of the Tom Bass Prize for Figurative Sculpture in 2018 & the Art Gallery of New South Wales' Dyason Bequest in 2017, she was also a recipient of the Frans Masereel Centrum, Belgium residency, and recently held a solo exhibition 'Ossature' at Eloise Cato Gallery, Sydney.
