‘Colour Me Happy- Cornflower Blue’ by Sophie Derrick

Sophie’s work focuses on portraiture, but with the use of the transformative properties of paint and photography this genre is skewed and manipulated. She photographs the act of painting on to skin and then paints on top of the printed photographs, creating a layering of image of paint and painted image, blurring the boundaries between the two. She is based in Burbage.
