Hypha Studios Battersea

Open Studio day at Kinga Oktabska&#x27;s studio in Battersea, with a showcase of a collaborative artwork, bringing together drawing and weaving fragments created at the recent ‘Silk &amp; Rubble’ group workshop. T﻿he event is free and open to all.Kinga Oktabska is an artist from Wroclaw, Poland, living and working in London. She is currently an artist in residence at Hypha Studios in Battersea. Her practice considers landscapes lost in a time of accelerating social change and aims to reconstruct the narrative of a place from traces that have been erased, imagined or that are invisible to the eye. Her methodology is to discover landscape through found objects and local memory. Searching the shores of the Thames, she crafts her styluses from discarded metals, and turns bricks and rivershore debris into pigments. Dust becomes a metaphor: something unseen and marginalised, it is a medium for exploring forgotten histories, with agency to construct alternative landscapes. Through her work, she explores how art can disseminate local history and empower communities facing regenerative change, critiquing the underlying value systems of regeneration altogether.
