It is interesting to blur the boundaries that separate the organic world from the man-made world and explore how the two can relate to each other in a compelling way,” she says. “I like to let the plant itself guide me as I make a piece, allowing new facets of its character to be accentuated through added form and color.”⁣ ⁣ Sophie previously created large garden-scapes on canvas and velvet, but one day, she pulled her paintbrush across a real-life leaf and everything changed.⁣ ⁣ “Plants stir within us a very beautiful reminder that we, as humans, are part of nature instead of separate from it. The presence of a bloom or a fresh leaf has a gentle and profound effect on the soul. I want to make something that would invite you to play among the leaves and blooms, something truly wild and unexpected.”⁣ ⁣ #ThisWeekOnInstagram⁣ ⁣ Photos by @wifenyc」7月29日 1時02分
