Sculptor Sophie Mei Birkin (b.1995) explores the ‘generative potential in the transformation of matter.’ Working with diverse mediums such as jesmonite, acrylic, abalone shells, ceramic and glass, Birkin’s fragmentary installations investigate how material exploration can incite a psychophysical response. Appearing simultaneously futuristic and prehistoric, Carcass Submerged [Whale Fall] (2021–22) draws from an ‘interest in the seabed as a site of protean transformation.’ Whether in the context of post-apocalypse or environmental disaster, when one carcass falls, what new ecosystems are created?
