About the Item
'Emergence'
Limited edition archival photograph. Unframed, hand signed and numbered
________________________________
From your cocoon my darling,
Your wings are emerging:
Delicate strength of all that has come before.
Dancing this late summer eve,
You are learning to fly.
'Emergence' is a contemplation of transitory states of being. The metamorphosis of a daughter becoming a woman, witnessing childhood's tentative dances with the beckoning allure of the great possibilities of flight. The layered narratives within the photo collage reference metaphors of visual language: the earth bound physicality of harvest in rural England, contrasting with global iconography.
'I work in the now, and distill it when it has become past. Hindsight is a beautiful thing. It is only upon reflection that the seemingly insignificant defines itself and becomes symbolic. There is beauty in such poignant breaths. Interconnecting pathways and subtleties of existence become sublime moments of consideration. A pause for contemplation. There is no such thing as an insignificant moment: every pebble of now forms the vast mountain of yesterday, and the great realm of tomorrow's possibilities'.

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.
