Majka Dokudowicz
“She is a traveler and collector of impressions, experiences, moments and untypical objects. She's working mostly in intaglio and relief techniques and she's eager to experiment in printmaking by incorporating in the process unusual materials, photography and her bookbinding knowledge. In her artistic works and research she examines the fragment, its meanings and unique dichotomies. She is approaching printmaking and its various techniques and artists' books with an experimental attitude towards their application and limits.”

“I see myself as an arbitrary explorer, a chancy voyager, an informal investigator in the realms of Memory. My aim is to find and highlight the instability of what we perceive as something concrete, absolute and defined. I am attracted by the fluidity of Memory, how it decays, transforms and changes and how we, as subjects, reconstruct, misconstruct and deconstruct it in their collective and individual environment. My research is focused on understanding these shifts and demonstrating them through the use of Printmaking. In my practice I incorporate both traditional and experimental printmaking techniques in creating 3-0 objects, installations, artists' books and prints, often embodying social and political context. ”
