Sophie Ferrrier

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