Sophie Agafonova

Sophie Agafonova is a Ukrainian textile artist based in New York, working with yarn on linen. Her work focuses on tactile presence, softness, and the relationship between dense stitched forms and open linen space. Through quiet textile reliefs, she explores calm, balance, and the idea of home as an internal state carried through material and touch. Shaped by personal experience of displacement, her practice embraces restraint, repetition, and imperfection as sources of stability and continuity. Her works are held in private collections and represented by galleries.
