The Polish duo SUDICZKI, formed by Anna Dobrowolska and Maria Jachowicz, explores a deeply intuitive notion of cultural inheritance — one that’s passed down quietly, through folk tales and unspoken memory. Drawing inspiration from the Slavic female spirits that lend the project its name, their ceramic sculptures awaken a feminine mythology rooted in the oral traditions of the Kaszubia region.
Rather than reconstructing the past, their work captures its echo: poetic, ritualistic forms that feel both ancient and vividly present. Each piece is singular — a vessel of memory — hand-shaped in chamotte clay, then glazed in spontaneous, expressive layers that bring out textures and colors entirely their own.
Their sculptural language is raw, instinctive, and unconstrained. Accented with silk crowns and set on pedestals of untreated clay, works like Hymm and Aaai resonate with a quiet tension between the earthly and the symbolic. They don’t ask to be explained — only to be given space.
