Connecting through ecological crafts

Centering on materiality, Sophie’s approach emphasises ecological research-led practices, exploring the intricate relationship between humans and the environment, with the aim to close the communication gap between this research and the audience.

Facilitating meaningful engagement between ecological research and audiences through a material-centric craft approach, Sophie cultivates what she terms a land-based, ecologically restorative, and storytelling practice. Grounded in artistic inquiry, material exploration, and local contexts, her work emphasizes the significance of our personal connections to landscapes, while advocating for our role within intricate ecological systems.

Drawing from her education in Design, Craft, Permaculture, and Circular systems, Sophie has developed an interdisciplinary practice centered on biodegradable, restorative, and regenerative materiality. From repurposing food waste into nurturing living soil, and from managing non-native invasive species into sculptural expression, her work spans a spectrum of creative and ecological endeavors.
