• Walls of Memory

    Date posted: February 16, 2009 Author: jolanta
    I try, always try, to create a space where I can probe my identities vis-à-vis the world around me. Using a wide range of mediums, I often attempt to explore the world of illusion against a background of memory, a memory nearly always based on reality. By sensing and exposing a metaphorical world that hides beneath the physical, I attempt to bring the unseen into a visual space. In the context of this work, I came to sense the existence of a metaphorical room that hides behind the physicality of the body, a room that reflects the much bigger room outside, the one representing society, its customs, traditions, conventions, and the factors conditioning it.
