Artist statement

Sophia Mason’s soft sculptures perform. They dress up as fine art, then act out social scripts. 

In Object Lessons (2016-2019), her soft sculptures performed as the everyday tools of object lessons. In Of Plural Worlds (2023-2026), sculptures and sets were costumed as the display cases of a natural history museum, and then acted out the history of mormon feminism. Mason’s works often play scripts from mormonism to showcase a social text enacted in radical and conservative echoing depictions.
