Sophie Clements is a London-based visual artist, working specifically in relation to sound and music. Graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2005, her work comprises audio-visual installation, music video, live performance and collaborative work with musicians, all unified by her approach to the ‘visualisation’ of sound or vice versa.
Her recent work in collaboration with Scanner has included Of Air And Ear (2008) at the Royal Opera House. The 6 hour live audiovisual work, commissioned as a piece for Wayne MacGregor's ‘Deloitte Ignite’ festival, takes the form of a 12m x 5m ‘playable’ light sculpture that reflects the architecture of the Paul Hamlyn Hall in which it was installed. The circular screen structure was designed in direct proportion to the circular forms in the architecture of the Royal Opera House, and forms a double cone measured precisely to the throw of the two projectors, that spans the length of the hall.
Among other collaborations, Sophie has worked with D-Fuse, United Visual Artists (UVA), Tal Rosner and Cybersonica. In 2008 Sophie won the Jerwood Moving Image Award for her piece Evensong a piece of visual music, sung by layers of landscape and the geometric light forms that emerge from them.
