 Mary is  crocheting - the performance accompaning  the  instalation of 10 garden dwarves, wearing crocheted slippers with pom-poms, as the sweet reminder of my childhood times. They 'came' from Nowa Sól - famous/well-known Polish dwarf-production-area and were presented for the first time in my anti-fables show in Wozownia Gallery, Toruń, 2005.   
The current project  expands this '10 brothers story' into the world shaped by traditional forms of handiwork. The idea is to give each of them a leading motive/ main characteristic based on unpredictable  daily happenings. Progressively I will be producing diaries for them, memorizing all important moments from their life.   

At the moment I'm finishing a new helmet-cap for one of the dwarves.  He 's had a small crash, had been knocked over by an accidental passer-by during my show. After that catastrophe, called the Little Weakling (Słabeuszek), he's getting a protective helmet, knee-pads and elbow-pads to secure him from another gallery-visitor.   

The last  two show were presented at Freies Museum Berlin in Dec. 2011 and ACUD during the Month of Performance 2012.
