Addicted to porcelain. Fascinated by the passage of time and everything that comes with it.

Patuszyńska is internationally recognised for her radical approach to porcelain. Her practice involves smashing and reassembling discarded moulds, intentionally preserving cracks and seams to create dynamic, thought-provoking forms. In this intimate conversation, she shares how these broken moulds become bold statements of existence.
