Original painting in oil on canvas.
"Memories have a way of overlapping in unexpected and seductive ways, in this painting I'm exploring my own memories of travelling through various real places, - the east coast of Canada, the lakes of Sweden and the Hebridean Isles. All have echoes of each other in the geology, the plant life and the northern hemisphere light, I'm always looking for the point at which these experiences collide and I try to explore the emotional state that links places psychologically as well as the geographical similarities. I like to use figures as a way into some works, here the family group seem totally at ease and oblivious to the strangeness of the place, guiding us as a viewer in and offering an invitation to follow them."

Sophie Baker’s paintings track the internal, felt dimension of landscape - holding close to the visual field while letting something stranger press through. Paths appear, then blur. Figures are latent or occluded. A spider’s web reads as architectural, devotional. The eye keeps circling. Visually, the works seem to resist forward motion: no clear vanishing point, no directional pull - an evocative felt sense of recursive presence. Each work evokes a state of being - of crossing, shelter, entanglement.
