Congratulations to the winner of the 2025 is

Her fascinating winning work, “Thunder Shifts the Shivering Sands”, is made using rust, charcoal, soil, pigment and binder on canvas (148cm x 160cm) — a raw and elemental response to landscape. The prize was judged by artists Naomi Hobson and Catherine Woo and curator Caine Chennatt.

Judges' Comments
A strong embodied, site-responsive, and honest record of environmental upheaval, of land torn by flood and landslide. It portrays the Australian landscape not by illustration, but rather direct material presence made in collaboration with the elements with the artist working directly within the aftermath of natural events. Combining the gathering of raw and found materials from the environment with the expressive force of the artist’s body, it exults in this confluence, melding matter, natural marks and a perceptible, visceral relationship between human presence in the non-human world. The artist brings an almost primal energy to the work, but with instinct and finesse, produces a compelling work of balance and refinement.

A former professional athlete, Sophie Cape turned to art after years of sport-related injuries. Cape’s practice is deeply tied to the raw forces of nature and the physicality of the body, the artist often immersing herself in the landscape and using locally-sourced natural materials, such as soil, rust and charcoal, to render instinctual acts of expression.

Congratulations Sophie!
