Sophie Ryder

Sophie Ryder mostly created sculptures of creatures associated with mythology, such as minotaurs, horses and mostly hares. Hares in Eroupe represent solitude and remoteness, and at night it resonates with the moon and gains the traits of  intuitive, and the fickleness. The hare was the emblem of unpredictability, which was feared by man. In other cultures, it represents the goddesses and fertility (which is usually associated with women). 

The most popular sculpture she has done is Crawling Lady Hare (picture above), where a hare with a woman's body is crawling along the ground. This was to be accompanied by say a Minotaur or dog, but due to Sophie's behavior becoming solitary, she never really finished this piece. The mythological hare does link to her solitude. However it is more likely that the hare is a symbol of her sexuality, such as possibly linking to hair which is common associated as female lust. The hare is known for its sexuality, and women are symbolisms of beauty and lust in the female form.
