About the Item
'Pink Moon, Black Thorn (I)'
Master Edition (Unique artwork, 1 of 1). Archival photograph.
Hand signed and numbered. Unframed.
_________________
Heady sap of spring
Pink with the blackest of thorns
April moon rising
The delicate petals and stamens of the blackthorn burst from their ragged, naked winter stems, silhouetted against the light of April's full moon. The 'Pink Moon', rich with symbolism, is ushering in the flourish of new life: spring.
From a body of work that captures the sublimely ephemeral in spaces that inhabit the boundary lines between the elements. Expressed in these poetic photographic artworks, is the acknowledgement that in all things there is flux and balance: In the sensual interplay of light and shadow; between wild raw energy and serene stillness; the enduring and the effervescent. Applying the principles and techniques honed with film cameras and in darkrooms to digital photography, Sophia creates imagery that is imbued with a sense of physical presence and emotion, capturing fragile, fleeting moments within timeless narratives.
Archival Giclée print on 'Hahnemühle Photorag' paper, with a beautiful matt finish providing a reflection free image for a photograph that is rich in detail, depth and tone.

About the Artist
Sophia Milligan (b 1980) BA MA
Sophia is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist. Her work is held in prestigious international private collections with exhibitions across the UK, USA and Europe.
'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 trees and sensual coves of weather worn granite, I have been shaped by 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, my artwork explores fragile, fleeting moments of interdependent relationships: 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. 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. I see beauty in the imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.
Through photography, painting, poetry and drawing- with marks, mixtures, words; the raw earth; the restless oceans; the whispered breeze; I illuminate sublime subtleties and transient layers in the flow between shifting seasons; in human narratives tangled among wild landscapes; 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.

Sophia Milligan
Sophia Milligan is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist, exploring discourses on permanence & evanescence; the eternal, cyclical absolutes of birth & death; motherhood & childhood; and ancient immutable connections. Sophia's works have an affinity with the ancient Japanese aesthetic philosophy of wabi sabi, and with resonating ripples of intuition and instinct, she illuminates the presence of the ordinary, creating moments of sublime present. '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. 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. 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.’ ‘We are the stories of the journeys that came before. I weave into my work the tales of transitory circumstance; of struggle and survival; of forms and textures holding records of evolutionary millennia. 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, giving subtleties of existence a pause for contemplation. There is beauty in such poignant breaths. All moments are significant, every pebble of now forms the vast mountain of yesterday, and the great realm of tomorrow's possibilities'. Sophia has a 1st class honours Bachelor of Arts Degree in Visual Arts and World History, and a Masters Degree in Contemporary Visual Arts. Her work is held in international private collections, and exhibitions of her interactive, immersive installation, photography and mixed media works include 'Tabula Rasa', London; 'Superlative', Plymouth; 'Transition', Newlyn; The Eden Project, Cornwall; The European Parliament, Brussels; Kew Gardens, London; and 'The Cameraless Film Festival', Chicago.

Picadas creates photographs and video installations of places, situations and architecture that not only reveal their inner essence but also hint at dark unknown recesses. By partially stripping away the surface features of an image, the artist unearths visions that give rise to both a secret countenance and a psychic inner landscape. The artist explains, “In my photographs I examine and reveal the ways in which one can freeze both space and time by re-contextualizing different parts of reality and recombining them in new ways. The result is that both objects, and even situations, can be transformed into a kind of sculpture, providing us access to new knowledge about the nature of our reality.” The current works on view include photographs from Costas Picadas...
