Sophia Hatzikos: Post MFA Studio Fellowship Lecture
Sophia Hatzikos is a Greek-American sculptor whose practice is rooted in embodied research through swimming. From the water, she examines how human intervention shapes our entanglement with the landscape. Through sculpture and video, she translates fleeting sensory experiences of place.
Hatzikos earned a BA from Wheaton College in Massachusetts and an MFA from Washington University in St. Louis. Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at the Kranzberg Arts Foundation in St. Louis, MO, and Pacific University in Forest Grove, OR, and in group exhibitions at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Attleboro Arts Museum, Missouri State University, Charlotte Street Foundation, and Blue Sky Gallery, among others.
Her practice has been supported by grants and fellowships, including the Future Fund, Divided City Fellowship, Sam Fox Post-MFA Studio Fellowship, Sam Fox Graduate Travel Grants, Ann W. Olin and Spencer T. Olin Fellowships, Kimberly Gales Emerging Artist Program, Davis International Fellowship, and the Projects for Peace Grant.
