Biography
My large-scale installations and sculptures are derived from cutting, breaking, gluing, carving, and sewing materials that reveal the many layers of our relationships to our environment and one another.
Inspired by Arte Povera, and Feminist and Site-specific art, my work blends the everyday with the uncanny. From photographs of human skin printed on vinyl to a tablecloth quilted from blue workwear, I’m always exploring how solid forms evoke movement and raising questions about how we live today.
I’ve always been intrigued by what connects people to a place; I was born in Poland, raised in the Midwest, and spent over a decade living and studying in France, and the movement of goods, from production and consumerism to waste and decay, is a recurring theme in my work.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to explore these themes thanks to numerous awards, fellowships and residencies, including most recently the North Carolina Arts Council Artist Support Grant, the Aide Individuelle à la Création Grant, DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and the Fondation Charles Oulmont Prize and residencies at the Elf School of the Arts (NC), Eden Summer Institute, and CLEA Val du Sambre.
I live in Greensboro, NC with my family, where I’m currently an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at UNCG.
