Perception shift

Macrame artist Kasia Dudkiewicz is pictured working on armour inspired by life events.

Macedon Ranges macrame artist Kasia Dudkiewicz will be the next creative to feature as part of the Phee Broadway Theatre foyer exhibition program.


Kasia is a Polish girl who now calls Australia home.


The local artist said she grew up spending time in the studio of her late aunt who was a talented painter and the magic of her aunt’s workspace captured her imagination and inspired her to explore her own creativity.


The proud mother of two is the creator of ‘Knotted by Hand Macrame’ and says motherhood has also given her a maturity and strength that has enabled her to invite stillness, warmth and calmness into her life and devote herself to her art.


Kasia told the Express her exhibition Perception Shift reflected her personal journey and change in outlook on life.


“The exhibited works are inspired by my pursuit of peace, calmness and creativity,” Kasia said.


“Through my intricate knotting techniques, earthy colours and textured designs, I aim to invite viewers to experience a shift in their own perceptions and connect with the transformative power of art.


“This exhibition represents a significant milestone in my artistic career, as it symbolises a deeper understanding of the interplay between art, introspection, and personal growth.


Perception Shift will be open daily from August 2 with an official opening taking place next Thursday August 3 from 5pm to 7pm.


The exhibition at the Phee Broadway Theatre foyer in Mechanics Lane, Castlemaine, runs until September 4 and is open daily 9am-5pm.
