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.
