ARTIST SPOTLIGHT | WEAVERS GUILD OF CONNECTICUT
BIOGRAPHY
Sophia DeJesus-Sabella (b. 1997) is an artist, weaver, and educator based in Hartford, Connecticut. Her woven and sculptural works explore themes of class, gender, queerness, and utility by combining traditional craft techniques with found construction materials. Sophia teaches weaving at the Hartford Artisans Weaving Center and conducts mending workshops throughout the Northeast.
VISION
Sophia DeJesus-Sabella’s works are a continuation of her hand-woven wood grain series. Drawing colors from the sandy landscape of Newport, these weavings utilize a traditional four-harness overshot structure to mimic the natural curves and knots of wood.
