About SophiaWeisensel

Sophia Weisensel makes work about the American Midwest. Born in rural Minnesota, she focuses on the small-town, big-sky landscape where she was raised. Weisensel explores themes of coming of age, family dynamics, and the complex, sometimes proud people who are a part of her upbringing. She is interested in putting a spotlight on these people and their surroundings, though her muses are wary of the pressure this spotlight brings.
