GRAŻYNA WIKIERSKA
About
I like choosing all kinds of media to tell a story. Stories from my life, memories and subconscious. Everything is like a dream or an illusion to me. Throughout the creating process I observe a plot of my mind. Projects are afterimages of dying story-lines which I let go. It gives me an incredible imagination and inventiveness to explore myself and others. Creating has become a source of meditation.
I refer to mysticism, shamanism, quantum physics - psychomagic - learning about the mind, body and spirit connections. I discovered how we are conditioned and unaware of our behaviours and where they came from. At the same time there are glimpses of beauty in everyday life I try to capture. I seem to balance between two aspects of life: suffering & happiness, beauty & ugliness, but very often I'd like to blur the boundaries between them.
