Sophia Flood

Sophia Flood (b. Ipswich, MA, Lives and works in Los Angeles, CA) creates works that are built in a tactile language of stains, scrubby brush marks, material residues and dry veils of color. Departing from a range of sources and experiences, often rooted in geology or place, Flood works with moments of inversion and collapse – negotiating between the map and the terrain, abandoning her source material to a puzzle of structure and intuited shape, and allowing the image to reappear slowly, both uncovered and generated by interwoven layers. Her work has been exhibited at Babst Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Shulamit Nazarian, Los Angeles, CA; Curve Line Space, Los Angeles, CA; Elsa Lee Bruno, Los Angeles, CA; Sadie Halie Projects, Minneapolis, MN and Brooklyn, NY; Spring Break Art Fair, New York, NY; Torrance Shipman Gallery, New York, NY; and Herter Gallery, Amherst, MA.
