Hopkinson’s work draws inspiration from her observations of the contemporary world. Her paintings are concerned with ideas around fragmentation, interruption, surface & colour. They explore the conflict between the digital space and the handmade, and the tension between visual and written/typed language.

She is interested in the ubiquity of text in our collective experience, the way it circulates meaning, and how its familiarity can be undermined through abstraction, ambiguity of meaning and its placement as visual form. 

Overall, the work is a response to a world in flux and the visual noise we experience on a daily basis. It is an attempt to distill a disparate frame of reference into a visual language, through a process of fragmentation, distortion & combination.
