Encounters: In the Studio with Grace Hager

Watch Sophy Naess bring a floral painting to life and discuss how weaving has transformed her improvisational approach to composition and form. In her studio, Naess navigates the tension between immediacy and structure, capturing the fleeting beauty of life as it unfolds and inevitably fades away.

Fabienne Lasserre reflects on her decades-long exploration of the boundaries between painting and sculpture, body and space, color and form. Rooted in feminist ethics, her work invites viewers to question binaries and engage with abstraction as a language of inclusion, embodiment, and emotional depth.
