Charlie Sofo was born in Melbourne where he currently lives and works. Sofo’s is both a process-based and an object-based practice in which materials seek out the artist out as much as he has sought them. The two happen upon each other, and proceed to work together collaboratively, often incorporating rhythmic gestures. This results in displays, depictions, descriptions, and constructions, of and about objects. These are not simply objects ‘found’ by the artist and used to compositional or conceptual ends. They have, for example, been dislodged from the soles of his shoes or have found their way through a hole in his pocket and out his trouser-cuff. Sofo doesn’t revere these objects or ascribe them meaning. Rather, he affords them the breathing space to perhaps say something to him, and subsequently to us.
