Artist Statement
Kochanowska uses an intuitive and self-reflexive process of photo-montage to express her psychological, spiritual and physical experience of pregnancy, motherhood and the natural world. Kochanowska draws from 16th, 17th and 18th century anatomical, botanical and natural history illustration to construct works teaming with fleshy distortions, flora, fauna and fantastical locations. Alternative mythologies are presented that are at once joyous, surreal, organic and deformed, blossoming with life, yet also brimming with a haunting disquiet.
