Lit. by Basia Wojewoda, Tuning, Gallery 26, Cracow, pp. 8-9 (ill.) [exhibition catalog].
The artist lives and works in Cracow. In 2022 she graduated from the Faculty of Sculpture of the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. The domain of her artistic interests is the stabuized and silenced space, where alternative lives of people, animals and marginalized objects take place. In her works she uses found materials that have fallen out of circulation, giving them new value. Each work created is a record of a complex and intimate relationship with matter, which the artist seeks to empower. She lives with the objects she has taken in, experiences the moves with them and, in a way, begins to be in possession of them herself
