About

During the past seventeen years Czarnecki's work has centred on ways of exploring and expressing ideas generally based around the human, the physical, biological and psychological. More recently her work has been concerned with investigating the relationship between developments in the ‘life' sciences and technology with changes in culture, society and language. Her work is mainly in time-based and digital media, intricately re-working and re-processing to creating powerful contemplative spaces and strong visual aesthetics that question our ideas of confrontation and vulnerability in relation to the subject / audience. Her work has been exhibited internationally including ISEA 1998 and, Arts Electronica ‘ life sciences' 1999 She won a prestigious creative Scotland Award in 2002 for work on her interactive installation ‘ Silvers Alter' exhibited at the Natural History Museum in Summer 2003.
