NYC-based US rope bottom, rope model, self-tier and workshop facilitator publicly appearing as Soft Armor / @soft_armor_. Karada House and Temple event bios say Soft Armor / Fern found rope in 2022 and felt at home in the intimacy, aesthetics and body-trust explorations possible in rope; they describe Soft Armor as NY-based and traveling / tying in LA, Paris, Berlin and beyond. Studio Friction's 2026 pages describe Soft Armor as a NYC-based rope bottom and self-tier working with themes of body-trust, art-making, interpersonal connection, pain processing and ableism in rope. Public Temple, Atelier Simonet / Billetweb, Karada House and Studio Friction pages repeatedly bill Soft Armor together with Bänana for classes, sessions and workshops.
