IN MEDIAS RES
During the 3rd and the most formative year of my studies, I spent a semester abroad. I used this time to properly delve into material and ceramic research. In Medias Res is an exhibition I was working towards at the time. There are a couple of subjects I was exploring that turned out to be defining for my practice. Other than research, I explored how art in the public space acts as performance in its absurdity. Walking became a way of creating and telling narratives. For the last few years, I have been unconsciously searching for a way to merge walking and art. I found their meeting point in the form of ceramics.

‘‘Aye’’
I took a module in artistic ceramics that pushed me to scale up my work. Hand-building came to me very naturally, soon I would spend most of the hours of the day in this one studio, neglecting the other ones.
The base glaze is shino-esque glaze I developedin the glaze chemistry studio. However, it is glazed with all of my tests. Mainly different plant and food waste ashes that you can read more about in my publication.

100 Bridges of Wroclaw
Wroclaw,where I spent 4 months living and studying, is known as ‘the Venice of Poland’. I felt the need to visit every single one, so I drew a line on a map connecting them all.

2. Find a bridge.
3. Play with dirt.

Cabinet of Curiosities
I was researching sustainable materials in sculpture, for example bio plastics, kombucha and clay.
My research involved making glazes out of found materials (rocks, dirt, glass, …), plant ashes (wood, lavender, rye,…), food waste (coffee, tea, eggshells,…).
