Sophie Bowen is a textile artist from Somerset whose practice brings together natural dyes, drawing and hand stitch. She studied BA Drawing at Falmouth University and later completed an MA in Textiles at Bath Spa University.
Her work is a contemplation on nature, shaped by observing seasonal shifts, patterns of regrowth, irregularity and impermanence. This is intertwined with a process-led approach to making that embraces slowness, allowing materials to guide each piece as it unfolds.
Drawing sits at the heart of her practice. She uses mark-making as an intuitive way to explore movement and flow, with marks initially made using brush and ink later translated through a range of textile processes.
