As an artist working in film and performance, storytelling is key to Sophie Ansell’s practice. Her work explores narratives, in particular, the stories which are fed to us as a society. Tales of Hollywood Glamour and Benefits Scroungers, Disney Fairytales and The Deficit, Beauty Standards and Austerity Measures. Some of these stories are thrilling, some are simple and some are boring but all are told so subtly and frequently that they threaten to become fact. Ansell uses dark humor to question and critique these modern media and political narratives.
