Natalia Kasprzycka’s practice is site-responsive and its outcomes shaped by the material conditions of the sites she works with. Her works take form of installations, video, objects and publications as well as public works and workshops. She often works in collaboration with others, most notably with Sarah Fraser on MIDDEN and with Katrina Wilde and Jessica Mason on their artist-run project GROUND. Her training as a potter remains a constant point of reference in the rest of her practice. She is a QEST Scholar and since 2022 she has been an Associate Artist of British Ceramics Biennial. Her works have been exhibited in the UK, Iceland and Norway.
