Tomasz Jedrowski

Artist Statement

I write about queerness, nature, and healing, often in historical contexts. I'm fascinated by the potential that spirituality holds as an antidote to personal and collective violence, and how, despite what it may look like, humanity's struggles have remained essentially the same since the dawn of time.
