Sovay Berriman’s practice has a strong theme of exploration, through academic and scientific, as well as imaginative endeavours. Despite romantic and cynical extremes which are often apparent, a sense of humour runs through her work offering a release from this otherwise present tension.
As well as the production of objects, drawings and texts, Berriman also incorporates events into her practice, such as ‘Ghosts, Landscape, Literature: a walk with Dr. Shelley Trower’ (2009) a commissioned text delivered on moorland in Yorkshire and, ‘Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers Back to Back’ (2008) an overnight screening of all the films of the legendary dance duo.
Whether seeking to offer us a route to comprehension or a course of escape is unclear, but what is certain is the importance of fantasy in the topography of Berriman’s work and of her efforts to persuade us to embrace it.
