Welcome Folks to my ‘website-underway’! my name is sophie and I'm a late-starter artist engaged in the exploration of colour and pattern for an enterprise i call “kaleidocopias”. Kaleidocopias is a term I’ve coined from THE compound of “kaleidoscope” and “cornucopia”, which describes ‘beautiful forms in abundance’.
I make a bunch of different things and have long dreamt of creating seamless patterns for layered, hand-crafted rooms that say 'opulence without clutter', ‘legacy without fust’! On these pages you’ll find: images of objects I’ve made; materials and techniques I have explored; a series of virtual rooms; and digital artworks.
the site will unfold like a blog with emphasis heavy on images, since my work is visual. There will be freebie downloads and digital artworks to buy and in addition, links to print-on-demand wallpapers and homewares FROM PORTFOLIOS HEREIN.
the gallery above is a sampling of some of my work past and present, representing some of the skills and materials my husband and I will bring to bear on the journey through the furnishing of our own home - our “design lab”. We’ll concentrate and test our ideas; the things we design and make, the things we find and beautify, and the patterns we conceive, here where we live. Please consider these pages an invitation to join us on the adventure! in the gallery below are some ideas PREVIOUSLY realised, some variation of which will be translated to our current home-based endeavour. ps I’VE MADE A personal choice not to use ai - using my hands sharpens my brain.
