A few moments from Cast Shadow, an exhibition that recently came to a close.

This body of work grew from an ongoing interest in weaving as a way of thinking through space, perception, and structure. Inspired by Hespeler’s textile history, the installation brought together woven forms and drawings that shifted with light, shadow, and movement.

Grateful to everyone who spent time with the work, and to Cambridge Art Galleries and curator Ashlyn Gregory for the opportunity. 🤍 by @sofiaelenii

Sofia Eleni Escobar’s installation, Cast Shadow, is on view at Cambridge Public Library, Hespeler until July 2026 ✨️⁠ ⁠
⁠ ⁠
Situated at the intersection of art and mathematics, Escobar’s work reflects the rich heritage of textile production in the village of Hespeler. Using colour, shape, and negative space to create meaning, her pen and ink illustrations invite viewers to reconsider their perceptions of textiles and their relationship with space. ⁠ ⁠

‘Form & Matter’ reimagines the vase form, typically associated with ceramic traditions, using paracord to weave a ghostly impression of an endless column of diamonds and cylinders. Unlike a vase, the work can hold only light and shadow, resisting solidity.

‘Resonant Matter’ is open for another week!

How does distance look? Is it the manifestation of an echo? Does it get weighed down by gravity? Is it obscured by shadow? Or fragmented by perception? There are, perhaps, no clear answers to the question of distance. In Resonant Matter, artists Naomi Dodds, Sofia Escobar, Maria Esthela, and Aline Setton venture into the threshold between places and report back what’s there. The works in this exhibition explore how migration, memory, and materiality converge through abstraction, light, and site, emphasizing the artists’ shared histories of migration to, from, and within Canada.

Influenced in various ways by the Light and Space movement, each artist approaches a visual description of distance through fragmented shifts in light, shadow, sound, and movement—foregrounding the body’s relationship to its environment. The artworks trace how personal histories of migration and cultural dislocation surface not through direct representation, but through an engagement with tension: between material and metaphor, weight and lightness, concealment and revelation.

Here is the process behind one of my etching prints…. I loved the copper plate as much as the print, which led me to showcase it alongside the finished artwork in my last exhibition.

I will be releasing a series of 10 Open Edition prints that will be available soon! 👀 by @sofiaelenii
