The Healthy Artist | Art as a Place of Healing w:/ Sophie Smorczewski

What happens to your creative practice when your body suddenly forces you to stop?

In this episode, Martha sits down with artist Sophie Smorzweski to discuss her "Kitchen Table" series and the profound impact of periods of illness on her work. Sophie opens up about navigating this at the age of 18, experiencing periods of isolation as "mini lockdowns," and how the kitchen table transformed from a symbol of confinement into a powerful site of healing and artistic recovery.
