ABOUT:

"The theme of the ‘in-between’ is a recurring one within my practice and recent plaster and metal work; touching up on mistranslations; fantasy spaces; of balancing precariously somewhere between definitions, and between my two countries. I explore growing up within a working class, Polish diasporic community a lot within my work, particularly in regards to the domestic sphere, migration and food. I create a lot of work about dreamscapes, in which things aren’t quite right, undefined and uncomfortable. Aside from my sculptural work I also spend my time printmaking; I have an ongoing monoprint series titled Pepsi Dreams and Coca Cola Nightmares, in which I have been using the motif of a rotten tooth, and recounting tooth nightmares, fuelled by anxiety, bad dentist experiences and a childhood addiction to Coca Cola."

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
