The exhibition reflects on the relationship between the human body and the body of nature—their wounds, memory, and processes of renewal. It presents a series of photographs based on micro-performances that act as gestures of empathy toward nature and a quiet dialogue with the landscape.

I am pleased to announce that I have been awarded a National Recovery Plan for Culture scholarship, financed by the European Union. The project 'Earth–Body. Photographic Strategies of Soothing Wounded Landscapes’ creatively responds to the impacts of natural resource exploitation and explores the regenerative potential of damaged ecosystems.

The catalogue accompanies the exhibition Full Circle, a collective presentation marking the culmination of 25 years of the Visual Arts in Rural Communities (VARC) activity and residency programme, featuring works by artists who participated in VARC residencies over the past quarter century.

My work is presented at the Full Circle collective exhibition, which concludes 25 years of Visual Arts in Rural Communities activity. VARC’s final Full Circle programme and show include former VARC artists in residence, many of whom collaborated with other local artists and musicians.

The exhibition focuses on the relationship between the female body and the body of Earth. It consists of a series of photographs and a video-performance undertaken in collaboration with choreographer Esther Huss, as well as artefacts created with local weavers and spinners to explore women’s work in the post-industrial environment.

I’m participating in an artistic residency at VARC, working on a new project related to female labour in the post-industrial environment. During my time in Highgreen, I’ll be collaborating with choreographer Esther Huss, and local weavers and spinners, to explore the relationship between body, land, and cultural landscape – interweaving local stories with my own family history.

I am delighted to have received a grant from the Goethe-Institut for a research project in which I will analyse the iconography of Saint Birgitta. The project involves working with special collections of manuscripts and rare books held in museums, libraries and church archives, and collaborating with researchers from Lund, Stockholm, Uppsala, Tensta, and Strängnäs in Sweden.

I am pleased to share that I have joined the artist roster of Van Rij Gallery. My representation is led by Katarzyna Rij, the gallery’s founder and director. I look forward with great anticipation to my first solo exhibition with the gallery, scheduled for autumn 2025 at Van Rij space in Kraków, Poland.

I am delighted that my chapter has been included in the monograph 'The Presence of Anxiety’. The book brings together articles by scholars from a variety of disciplines – philosophy, literature, film studies, cultural studies, management and visual arts – offering a comprehensive perspective on contemporary understandings of anxiety.

My article, A Tender Illness Narrative and/or the Art of Resistance, has been published in the recent issue of the 'Biological and Environmental Education’ journal.
