Description

ESCAPE FROM IRONING
Fabric and pattern reflect and differentiate cultures. The artist uses traditional Polish fabric designs, especially the red floral material used in the Cracovian peasants’ skirts, to punctuate this. Here the artist experimented with the concept of lifting the pattern with the intention of suggesting the loss and dilution of traditional Polish culture in the modern context.

FOLKLORE SPRING FLOWERS
A vase of spring flowers sits on a folklore-inspired patterned tablecloth, where the colours of the arrangement subtly echo and repeat the motifs beneath it. Fabric and pattern reflect and differentiate cultures, creating a dialogue between surface and object, where neither fully dominates the other. The artist draws on traditional Polish textile designs, using them as a visual and cultural anchor within the composition.
