Grounding is a textured expanse of earthy tones—muted grays, soft whites, and hints of beige and taupe, blended together in an almost monochromatic composition.

The surface is rough and varied, with deep crevices, small ridges, and patches of raised, uneven paint that seem to mimic the raw, unrefined quality of natural terrain. The painting's color palette is subtle and restrained, evoking a sense of stability and calm. The texture is so tactile it almost invites the viewer to reach out and touch, to feel the solidity and depth of the surface.

Sophie Pollock is exploring themes of stability, connection, and rootedness. The artwork piece conveys a feeling of returning to essentials, an invitation to slow down and reconnect with the foundational elements of existence. The rugged, earthy texture suggests a strong connection to nature, as if the artist is depicting the earth itself—unpolished, complex, and enduring.

Through this abstract approach, viewers are invited to consider their own roots, their own sense of place and belonging, and to find comfort in the simplicity and resilience of the earth.
