Bio
Sofia Sanchez is a lingerie designer-maker and interdisciplinary artist interested in the relationship between language and the body. She works across lingerie and corsetry, writing and book-making, drawing, performance and video.
For the last two years, her studio practice has involved interventions into the corset. She is interested in the undisciplining of corsetry techniques as a form of feminist liberatory play and is currently developing a series of corsetted animal sculptures.
