Ahoy!

I’m Jadwiga and I’m from Krakow. I love old paper, old scraps of fabrics, collaging different textures, wearing different textures, embroidery, drawing in nature, spending time in nature, coming up with silly stories, dancing and stop-motion animating. Exploring all of these realms throughout my undergraduate course made me create my animated film Tied Down!

Tied Down is an embroidered stop-motion animation using old scraps of fabric found in the home attic and charity shops. It tells a story of leaving home and creating your world from scratch. While it celebrates the thrill of new beginnings, it also acknowledges the comfort found in familiar bittersweet memories.
