Tailoring, as a practice, forms the background of Sophie's work. The works involve remnants of cloth from her own hand made garments and drawings. Zooming in on tender moments from the life room and her memories of specific moments; tugging cloth, cocooning bedsheets, un-wearing garments or our sensitive touches between one another holding them in space.

In blurring the boundaries between the artworks, objects and the wornness they represent, she explores the ways in which our experiences of the historical archive resonate with the material memories we collect for ourselves. Making, wearing, mending and caring are celebrated as processes of not just the past but present.

Running along Sophie’s practice is making made to order bespoke garments that emphasise the concepts she draws from.

Printmaking and drawing emphasise the permanence of mark making along with laying textures. She often shows prints and garments alongside chosen objects as it maps their relationship along lines of wear, repair and care.
