Sophia Lengle b. 1997 is a Canadian artist currently based in Den Haag.
Lengle’s practice is culminating around ideas of makeshift (i.e. fixing things creatively with limited resources), labour as occupying space/belonging, and personal sanctuary. I’ve been reevaluating why I weave. For me, weaving is a process that allows vast mental space for dreaming while grounding me in my body. It is also self-imposed labour that grants me a sense of belonging to my family of builders, artists, labourers, writers and that one stenographer too.
I am developing a weaving and writing practice that is reflective and generative, not weaving to make cloth, but weaving together to make sense of. Composing thread by thread a porous composite that exists as process, tool and record.
