The Scattered Sky

Additional Information
Hopton creates collages in beautiful and strange compositions which allude to the natural world. For her Tate edition, Hopton has used paper from a range of sources, including paper shops in Europe and vintage wallpaper rolls, as well as pieces of yarn to create a unique collage. The collage was scanned with a high-definition flatbed scanner, capturing its textures and shadows, then printed in an edition of 40 with pigment ink and silkscreened spot varnish. Hopton, who is interested in the illusions created by layering, has then hand-finished each print with marbled paper and yarn.
Of The Scattered Sky, Hopton says: ‘My studio windows look onto a high wall that cuts a hard, vertical line across the sky. The red bricks create my own personal horizon line. To have this view gives me a stage onto which I cannot help but project my hopes, fears, dreams and musings. The sky reflects them back at me in the shape and movements of its clouds, its shades of grey and white, its hues of blue, pink and orange.The sky’s capacity is limitless, into which we all fit. I urge you - take your space in it!’
