Polish Girl

 I was inspired by USQ student, Helena Lomulder plywood silhouettes that shape a narrative. The concept of storytelling holds great value in the sense that it provides me the capability to shape a narrative. My artwork is based on a fictional Polish folk story . I used vellum, a semi-transparent material to cut out the story. I also added details into the story with light expressive surface marks. Using both these approaches I was able to create a story by taking out and adding into the narrative. My intention is to create interest for viewers so they begin to imagine within the context of my narrative and begin thinking of their own stories as well.



Here is a sneak keep of a close up of one out of five sides and a distance photo of the hexagon structure.

  1. Interestingly, I began with paper as my medium and my work somehow evolved into wooden structures, instead. Also, this year I worked with dressmaking interfacing as I love that opaque effect, just as you have with your velum. Your work is quite beautiful.

  2. An artist that I am continuously inspired by their opaque cut outs is Ed Pien.
    I am looking forward to how you and your classmates will display our work in Australia, especially with possible coming up with alternative ways of displaying the pieces. Thank you!
