Pre-order / Frankie - Sophie Hirsch

'You never know what’s going to happen when you start to play. What version of yourself will show up. What will slip out when the standard rules of behavior fall away. Suddenly you’re louder, more affectionate, or ambitious. Tenacious and unapologetically dominant. Maybe a little meaner, too. Parts you thought you’d outgrown, keep tightly bottled up, or never knew existed may rise to the surface. It can be curious and a little unsettling, even for the people who like you best. My partner has told me more than once, “You’re impossible to play with.” Which might be fair. I sometimes meet a version of myself I don’t fully recognize either.' - Sophie Hirsch

Photographs, anatomical documents, diagrams, and texts reveal how she develops and transforms her forms, navigating between experimentation and design.
