Quilted Mixed Fabric with Ribbon and Embellishment
Statement

My work has always been centerer around the themes of the body and the human form. In recent years the work has developed strong themes of queer art with the use of body image. My own experiences with body inspire me to make unconventional artists books reflecting my Polish heritage. There is a vulnerability in my work that contradicts with the masculine army themes. I work with bookbinding, papermaking, fabric collage, quilting and drawing. My process always begins with drawing of my body and how I reflect to my own drawings fuels my making.
