I work with a variety of media including screen print, moving image and sculpture. My work involves observing rituals, boundaries and loss, while reflecting critically on how these behaviours display themselves in the comfort (or discomfort) of a domestic setting. I am interested in how people can be seemingly stuck somewhere, in a physical or mental place. The act of holding onto something intrigues me, whether that’s a relationship, an object, a room that no longer serves growth, but tends to a longing for keeping the past alive. Absurd habits and futile actions that link to Camus’ Myth of Sisyphus underlines these themes. Repeatedly pushing a boulder up a hill... only for it to roll back down again.

​

These interests are reflected by a doing-things-the-wrong-way methodology, working in a range of mediums to create objects and processes that don't quite function. Bowls with holes that can’t hold soup. ‘Soup’ that is made from a misunderstood recipe. A silk ‘screen’ whose surface obstructs the outcome of a crisp quality print. Haptic intricate details appear that seem to be paired with an overarching sense of blankness.

​

‘Wrong’ titles are attributed to parallel ‘wrong’ functions, but also reference my half-Polish background and the slippages between myself and a language I understand in fragments. I look at individuals and anecdotes within my family (primarily honing in on female relatives), hoping to speak not just on my life, but ideas that are transferable to the experiences of others.
