Falling Into Place Manchester School of Art, Manchester
In her latest body of work, Sophie Rushton seeks to allude to the many women deemed unimportant by wider society and medical professionals alike, forcing the viewer to confront their own ignorance. Subtlety is key. As both a woman silenced and a woman enraged, Rushton believes her purpose is not to shock, but to leave you questioning if you really know what occurs behind the doors of these praised institutions. What happens to each woman on a hospital bed is microscopic, secretive, and vulnerable; these works are the same.
