About the Item
'Sunday's Tulips (II)' 40 x 60" edition
Limited edition archival photograph, hand signed and numbered. Unframed
_________________
Gauzy afternoon light, the tulips are stretching softly, fresh from their peaceful sleep. Using intricate layering of double exposure photographic techniques, Sophia expresses moments of transient magic within the contemplation of ordinary yet intimate seasonal happenings. Woven together into richly textured, poetic photographic artworks is the acknowledgement that in all things there is balance: In the sensual interplay of light and shadow; in virial life and peaceful dormancy; in the enduring and the effervescent.
'Sunday's Tulips (II)' is from the body of work 'Mono No Aware'.
Without a direct English translation, the Japanese phrase 'mono no aware' speaks of the poignant awareness that everything in existence is temporary, it is a recognition of the ephemeral nature of all things. Moments, feelings, experiences cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where their beauty comes from.

About The Artist
Sophia Milligan is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist.
Born among the wild cliffs and tempestuous seas of west Cornwall, I grew with the intimate details in the twisting lanes and the intense changing light throughout the turbulent seasons. Like the wind sculpted hawthorns and sensual coves of weather worn granite, I have been shaped by the powerful energy entwined in this ancient raw environment. I formed a primordial connection with a deep instinctual sense of being part of the natural narrative, and wherever in the world I may be, this connectivity underpins my practice.
Finding magic in the flux and balance in the nature of all things, I explore fragile, fleeting moments and interdependent relationships, formed only during a synchronous dance with its opposite: the sensual interplay of light and shadow; wild raw energy and serene stillness; chaos and harmony; virile life and peaceful dormancy; the enduring and the effervescent. It is in melancholy beauty flowing between shifting seasons, and in human narratives tangled among wild landscapes, that I find my inspiration. It is in the blurred boundaries between restless seas and stoic stones; where the solidity of the soil meets the freedom of the air; where temporariness is the only constant. As such, I enjoy working with a balance of control and freedom: discipline and guidance, whilst simultaneously relinquishing all authority and throwing the odds to the winds, to chance encounters, and the unexpected.
Drawn to the Japanese aesthetic philosophy of wabi sabi, I find beauty in the imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. We are all the stories of the journeys that came before, carrying with us ancient immutable connections whilst leaving our marks and memories in tangible traces across the surfaces of our travels. I weave into my work tales of transitory circumstance; of struggle and survival; of forms and textures holding records of evolutionary processes. I paint, I draw: with marks, mixtures, photography, words; the raw earth; the restless oceans; the whispered breeze. I work with time, and the immeasurable spaces of experience within, illuminating the extraordinariness of the ordinary, giving subtleties of existence a pause for contemplation'.
