Sophia Belkin ’12 (Drawing & Printmaking BFA) uses dye painting, embroidery and textile collage to create intricate and dynamic compositions that reference natural processes. Her paintings explore our inextricable interconnectedness to the environment, and consider alternative futures for our ecological landscape. She uses a lens of sci-fi and abstraction to imagine how our ecology and our humanity can continue to morph, evolve and adapt in the face of unprecedented uncertainty.
On the most meaningful MICA experience she had:
“It's really hard to pick a single experience, but my senior thesis show was very memorable. I teamed up with a few of my friends and got an entire room exclusively for our exhibition.
“We put a lot of thought into how the work fit together and even drove the New York the night before to pick up newsprint catalogues that we had printed. Working together on this show was a really wonderful culmination to my time at MICA.”
