Week 6-7: Exhibition participation & Collaboration:

individual Fringe Warsaw exhibition at Norblin Factory
exhibition with mum and dancers at Palace of Culture&Science Studio Theatre Gallery, part of Body/Mind Festival, recording&editing film: “Between movement and Breathing”

Exploring, experimenting and reflecting on my work

Working/continuation from June 2025 project drawing into painting – my first oil and acrylic mix painting on Canvas, creating “perfect “ stripes w/ masking tape, acrylic markers

Mistakes: result of my Norblin exhibition: good turnout, but worse than 2 years ago, positive reactions to work but no sales. Why? I didn’t put enough thought into developing the Works, I focused on doing as much as possible to fill out the space, I went quantity over quality, speed over perfecting each piece. Result: Anger, strong need to destroy pieces, but instead using the “unsuccessfull” drawings and recycling them into shape: sphere/paper lamp-NEW, maybe this could be something interesting?

In drawing class: trying out Pencil and black marker on prepped Canvas covered board
Starting a new Concept after Ben Lingard’s suggestion during our first crit: painting with acrylics on the “other Side” the interior of the fridge door and challenging myself to express my deeper internal emotions and struggles using abstract art. NOTE: need to Sand first!!!
