ABOUT:

I am a Polish-born artist and researcher based between London and St Leonards (UK), working across installation, performance, sculpture, kinetics, and sound. I often work collaboratively, aiming to build reciprocal ecosystems with individuals from diverse disciplines.

Rooted in speculative narratives and archival research, my interdisciplinary practice examines the natural environment, concepts of functionality, and the positioning of the body within synthetic surroundings, often with an element of levity. My work draws on phenomenology, material thinking, fauna and flora, mythological symbolism, hydrofeminism, anatomy, medicine, and rituals around gender-fluid and hybrid protagonists. I also work with ceramics, producing sculptural works in clay and porcelain, including relief-based processes developed through working in wet clay and silicone and translating these forms into porcelain and clay objects.

Currently, I am exploring the potential and paradoxes of a hyper-capitalist, globally connected reality. Bodies, creatures, nature, gender, and labour are mobilised within industries where even invisible, abstract, and seemingly magical forces—such as love—can materialise into definitive economies of objects, units, and value.

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.
