About the work
“As a response to the work of Nicola L. I have produced 6 unique visual tableaux. These wall-hanged sculptural maps are made with glazed ceramic and wood, exploring the semiotic process through modular arrangement of visual symbols. The different combinations of colours, shapes, scale and materials build a visual paragraph and how the same symbols can produce variable meanings.” Paulina Michnowska
