STATEMENT

Sofya’s collages are intense, detailed layers of stained and tinted papers, cultural ephemera in the form of vintage magazines and found photographs, and painstakingly cut out, original naturalistic drawings. Sofya’s work explores the development of narrative and mood between the material and image.
