Sofía Clausse (b.1989, Argentina) is a multi-disciplinary artist currently based in London. She completed her BFA at the Rhode Island School of Design (2014), and the postgraduate program at the Royal Academy Schools in London (2022).
Her practice is a research into repetition, time, language, and translation through the use of painting, paper, text, and ceramics. Custom tools and systems are continuously invented to create an ongoing visual lexicon that collapses the distinction between semantics and semiotics – signs and meanings endlessly contain each other.
Clausse’s thinking is guided by a textile logic and a circular use of material. Elements interweave and extend like a labyrinthic path across the practice, and what was discovered or what remains in one piece informs and transforms into the next.
This path of the practice becomes a line through time, that loops and knots, following itself and connecting its ends left loose. The line entangles with other knots on other lines, creating a mesh where playing becomes thinking becomes making
She follows the labyrinthic path of her practice, in which works transform into other works, creating a knotted mesh where playing becomes thinking becomes making.
