Be Longing Exhibition Opening!

Here are some images of the exhibition opening which was such a success!! We had a lovely speech made by John Ingleton who is a wonderful printmaker and used to be the president of Hunter Island Press. We had lots of lovely wine and food and we had a very positive response to the artwork. Steph, Chris and I have been planning this exhibition for over a year now and its so wonderful to see its fruition. 


Such a busy opening!

Wine!

Here are a few images of my work... The red seemed to catch everyones eye!

'Warsaw in the Rain'



Here are a few photos of myself with the artwork.


A photo of myself with my lovely friend Claire!

Belonging Exhibition January 2013


Be longing


Sidespace Gallery, Salamanca (SACS), January 2013


Belonging Statement

…“Their polish identity emerged both amplified and distorted in the spaces of exile, a process that principally engaged the notion of hybridity”
George  Z. Gasyna
Polish, Hybrid, and otherwise: Exilic Discourse In Joseph Conrad and Witold Gombrowicz

Belonging is a term that can be employed infinitely. In its most generic form, it has often been associated with something or someone. However, particularly for this exhibition, it is what defines the connection between identity and place.
As a first-generation child of Polish Migrants, I constantly question, what does it mean to belong? These works explore the ideal of belonging, perhaps in their most honest self, and in retrospect of my Polish diasporic experience. Through this questioned identity, the work both in tonality, technique and colour, accentuate a romantic notion of cultural hybridity and the merging of past and present perspectives.
