Proposing a new response to land art and reinstating craftwork into the political, Basia Goszczynska’s work reflects and magnifies the experience of living enmeshed in an increasingly polluted habitat and explores how creative labor can serve as a vehicle for collective political action.
Basia culls discarded manufactured materials from trash and recycling bins or off beaches and roadways. She also crowdsources marine debris from environmental activists with who she connects with online. Much of her practice is still that of handwork: processing immensely tactile materials with an approach that is both experimental and methodical—rooted in emotional explorations of materiality and form.
