Creator of drawings and installations, performance artist. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań, she co-founded the artistic group Penerstwo. She works with assorted media. Her sculptures and performances frequently interweave and evolve, and her drawings cannot be referred to as fully autonomous pieces. She uses materials from her immediate surroundings, and simple objects to affirm her daily activities and feelings. She takes advantage of ephemeral phenomena, such as shimmering light or materials changing their physical state. She engages in activities in public space, discreetly involving pedestrians in incidents bordering on the private and public. She lives and works in Poznań.
