Sofía Fernández Díaz : "Casi Visible"

June. 6-27
Virtual Artist Talk: 6:00-6:50 p.m. Wednesday, June 11, 2025

Sofía Fernández Díaz (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist from Mexico City searching for the hidden relationships between everything around us. Her process is fueled by an intimate knowledge of both ancient and modern processes, combining experimentation, intuition, and play to discover unexpected commonalities between unrelated materials. Her familiarity with naturally occurring patterns and formations allows her to recreate these systems in her work using beeswax, fibers, natural dyes and many other materials to form immediate, visceral connections with her viewers.
