Bio:

Artist, researcher, biologist
kry.je.sz@gmail.com

My interests revolve around the complex web of relationships and tensions between humans and the “more-than-human world”, which is created by beings such as trees, toads, mosses and mushrooms. My artistic practice confronts art and science. A member of the ZAKOLE Group, which focuses on finding ways to tell and experience areas such as wetlands and to show the perspective of the creatures inhabiting them (ZAKOLE.PL).
