The Silent Printmaker

The melancholy mood portrayed in these images is the sound of sadness and disconnection. My disconnection with my Polish family has led to my isolation. This has become the foundations of my artwork and a way of further connection myself with the family I long for. These images are large, approximately a 100cm by 62cm and take a very long time to perfect. They represent isolation but also growth, love, connection and disconnection. They predominantly represent a feeling, the feeling which is  inside of me and finally I found a way of capturing it.

:Nostalgia of a teacup 

:The Cape of the little red riding hood awaits

:Oh hark! How the tree grow and their roots wrap around the seams of my dress

:My mother once told me

:As we wait we see how the soil and the roots spread. Deeper and deeper

Story Of A Melancholy Girl

These images are very sentimental as they reflect where I come from. They are a journey or a narrative of how far me and my family have developed and changed in this country. They are I suppose you could say a juxtaposition between me and my ancestors. They reflect the darkness of war and the communist system which was happening in Poland and then the light represents me. This symbolises how I have developed into a person but whilst I grow I still acknowledge that they are a part of me and my history. 

:Roots of the willow tree tie my feet to the earth

 :Endurance of childhood innocence

:Darkness prevails
