Sophia Slaney Marsch’s Junts and Jussies is etched into my mind based on name alone, not to mention the execution of a wall of denim vulvas. For Marsch, the work combines symbols of resilience and femininity, as well as being commentary on the environmental impact on textile waste. The labour that goes into each of the “Junts” had me reflecting on the unmentioned labour that goes into so much of the clothing we wear, and the labourers that put in that work.

Sophia Slaney-Marsch’s ‘Junts and Jussies’ turns recycled denim into vulvas, labias, folds, zippers. You have to unzip them. You have to look in. It’s cheeky and confrontational: virginity as zipper, womanhood as something to be ‘accessed.’ It critiques the violence of legibility, the performance of openness.

‘Maps’ by Sophia Slaney-Marsch creeps across the gallery like moss or memory — buttons, crumbs, and broken jewellery embedded in delicate textures that feel parasitic, tender, and strange 🌿

Sophia Slaney-Marsch’s cakes are all sugar, lace, and bite. ‘Cunt Cake’ and ‘It’s All Your Fault Mum Cake’ flirt with saccharine excess, nodding to “let them eat cake” mythology—decadence soured, indulgence questioned ✶
