A major influence for the direction my work is taking – not necessarily in the visual aspects of his work, but rather the processes and habits he developed over the course of his life. I’m not even sure where to start with explaining the influence of Czapski on my thinking and approach to art. I […]
18. XI. 2019 An exhibition at The Storey, Lancaster. Although I already made comment on this exhibition in my sketchbook I thought I’d also bring them over here, so that I can include some pictures of the works to put things into perspective. Observing people – human behaviour different from watching people in an artificial […]
Whilst doing my dissertation research I’ve realised how the events of late 19th Century and of the 20th Century shaped the timeline of Polish art., and how that was impacted [and reflects] the drastic trauma of the long period. This is just a quick note to remember that. QUICK TIMELINE OF POLISH ART: [there […]
The concept of post-memory began emerging from my work at the end of the second year, when I began noticing my connections with the past in my present time – how knowledge is passed from generation to generation, also in the form of memories, and how it shapes the way we think of ourselves – […]

“With each session everything has changed although things remain constant. I have to be prepared for an upheaval – to constantly seek to transform” – Audrey Grant “My work has always been in some way or another about people – sometimes through portraits but also focusing on traces of behaviour – the inadvertent marks people […]
INTRODUCTION: Here is a selection of other artists that I wanted to briefly research and investigate. I will be focusing on the formal visual elements each of them has used and the reasons for my selection. WILLIAM HOGARTH: REASONS FOR SELECTING: similar to Francisco Goya’s etchings and drawings – presented in the same exhibition at […]
INTRODUCTION: After one of my recent visits to The Whitworth in Manchester, which was a host to a collection of Goya’s drawings and etchings, I became increasingly interested in both his style of drawing as well as subject matter. What seemingly seemed as far from my focus (memory), the grotesque artworks helped me develop an […]
