Sophie Lourdes Knight's work attempts to disrupt the hierarchical economy of value within the world of objects. By placing overlooked, everyday items alongside spectacular things of beauty she establishes them as on a level plain; both objects are prescribed as having the same inherent value. They transcend their physical limitations and rise to become akin to religious idols or spiritual totems.
Her work has recently been shown in solo exhibitions at Huxley-Parlour Gallery, London (2023); Double Séjour, Paris (2021); as well as group exhibitions at Arusha Gallery; Warbling Collective; and Liliya Gallery; al London (2023); Guts Gallery; Liliya Gallery; Safe House 2; Slash Arts; The Split Gallery; Alice's Oyster Bar; Fitzrovia Gallery; ASC Gallery; and UK Mexican Arts Society, all London (2022); among others.
