ARTIST STATEMENT

Kasia Parker’s creative practice is process led and exploratory. She often combines different media, materials, and techniques including drawing, print and installation and prefers working spontaneously without set outcomes.

Her interest in the natural world and ecology led her to investigating methods of working with materials derived directly from the environment. For the last few years, she has been developing botanical inks made with wild and commonly used plants which she uses to create semi abstract drawings. She likes working outdoors embracing the elements and utilizing materials found around her like flowers, clay, soil and rain.  

Kasia’s 3-Dimensional works indirectly reference and explore connections between nature, science and art. Her aim is to evoke curiosity in the viewer and draw their attention to the often overlooked or unknown aspects of the environment.

She is drawn to the ephemeral, hidden and poetic.

​

Alongside her art practice, Kasia has been teaching art and design in a secondary school. 

Kasia is a recipient of the Art and Design Global Challenges Scholarship 2024.
