Sophia Oslin
ARTIST STATEMENT
As a multidisciplinary artist, I am exploring qualities of luminance and ambiguity in my work. I find enjoyment in developing work that has the ability to hold multiple interpretations, curiosity, and sensations that allow the viewer to craft their own reflective narrative and emotions from viewing the work.
My preferred mediums include basketry, printmaking, metal work, and embroidery. As a Chilean-American artist, I reflect upon my ancestors’ crafts in science, tailoring, and fine art. Using a variety of processes establishes a fulfilling sense of self expression that pays homage to my roots.
In my recent works, I have been focusing on creating sculptural pieces that convey my thoughts and personal connections to spirituality and near death experiences. With elements of organic shapes, a balance of chaotic and organized detail, and luminosity, these works intend to invite practice of self-reflection and shadow work. Making is meditative and a vital element to my understanding of the human experience.
