I’m joined in this episode by the artist Sophia Moffa.

Sophia works across multiple disciplines such as sculpture, performance, and photography.

We talk about how photography plays its part in her varied art responses, many of which are created with natural materials and eventually only remain in photographic form.

And we discuss her photographic series Western Waters which is turning the pollution issue in Birmingham’s canals ‘on its head’.

Nature has huge relevance to her making as she leans towards seasonal creation.

But she is also doing fabulous things for her local community, including through her grassroots CIC The Travellers’ Tree. This is supporting refugees and asylum seekers with art, nature and outdoor activities.

I’m so glad to have spent this time chatting with Sophia. I hope you enjoy finding out more.
