Sophie Anna Green seeks to represent forms of landscape through crafting an unveiled perception of geological, anthropological and ecological studies. Weaving the materiality of land with theoretical influences of poets, writers, scientists and thinkers she explores journeys; not simply physical, but of the mind and of time. Through processes of printmaking and photography, she embeds narratives and auras within marks, reinterpreting her own experience of the land. An experience which is fleeting, a moment in the eyes of the universe. These marks are a contribution to the fading memories and echoes of landscape – something to leave behind. Greens ongoing work, ‘we, altar’, studies the ancient yew tree as an idol; an icon of dualities (death/life, femininity/virginity, omen/material). Weaving these generational worships, condemnations and commonalities into a series of deistic works: a tapestry, a frame, a series of tablets, all infused with charcoal made from the trees which she has studied for over three years in Kingley Vale, West Sussex. Having graduated from the Royal College of Art last year with an MA in Print, Green has exhibited in independent shows and mixed exhibitions. Most notably the ECC Venice Biennale, 2026 and the Royal College of Art Graduate Show, 2025.
