Literature
"A magical space is created in the painting, where the unreal becomes possible. On the work "Contemporary Polish Textile" I created an exhibition of works by women handicraft artists, who met only in Irena Huml's publication of the same title. It is a non-obvious portrait of Ms. Irena and the women artists who fascinated her.
I indirectly met Ms. Irena. At the International Biennial of Artistic Linen Textiles "From Krosno to Krosno". Irena Huml was the chairwoman, and my work received an honorable mention from the Craft Museum in Krosno. I decided to attach the image of my competition fabric on this work to the group of such outstanding artists (Helena Galkowska, Anna Sledziewska, Adam Kierzkowska, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Jolanta Owidzka, Maria Teresa Chojnacka, Maria Łaszkiewicz). In this way, I show the great passion for fabric that has united women for years."
