Book Description

Publication Date: September 2001

British sculptor Sophie Ryder is a versatile artist who makes wire and bronze sculptures, installations, wire drawings, collages and prints. Her lively, often humorous insights into human and animal behaviour have brought her international acclaim. Larger than life, her minotaurs, lady-hares and dogmen are the stuff of daydreams, yet retain a sense of humanity expressed through movement, gesture and physical contact. Jonathan Benington examines the inspiration behind the work, its unusual techniques and its public reception. First-hand insights into studio practice, interspersed with interview material and personal observations make for a straightforward account of the artist and her art. A similar insider's perspective informs the extensive series of photographs of the artist and her work in progress, taken by Harry Scott, the artist's husband. The result is a behind-the-scenes look at the creative processes of this successful artist.

This review is from: Sophie Ryder (Hardcover)

How beautiful is this book - full of amazing sculptural works that make you want to reach out and touch them.
The artist Sophie Ryder is so skillful in her craft and it's a great read for the novice and also the professional sculptor. Lots of images on how she actually achieves the works, process etc.
Seeing the works in situ is a delight, well worth the spend. It's a thick and high quality book, that by the time you get to the end, you need to start over again to "really" enjoy it, and soak it all up.
Congratulations to Sophie Ryder! Wonderful work!
