Sophie Parkin

In the Stash Gallery –
Know Yourself – Sophie Parkin’s Palladium’s her new and older work is a study of self-portraits as other women forgotten by time who should be better remembered. As women we see ourselves within each other, melding our lives and identities with other women is a natural thing when all our lives we have been compared to others mostly in not measuring up. This show is in support of women, marked in the past as inferior to men or simply as their wives or mistresses.
