Shelly Hopkins
Sum Canna Vocalis
Incorporating photographic portraiture with a range of installation elements, Shelly Hopkins' practice explores aspects of human behavior and intellect, current work focuses on the subject of 'gossip'. In the post-truth world of identity theft, social media shaming and false news, Hopkins reminds us of the legacy of gossip. By taking the 18th Century London publication, and purveyor par excellence of gossip and scandal, The Female Tatler, as her starting point, Hopkins draws on the mythical status of its mischevious, multiplicitous author - Phoebe Crackenthorpe - and with staged portraits and sculpture, creates a complex fiction in an interesting interplay between the historical and the contemporary.
