Lesia Mokrycke

My work originates from a desire to create spaces of contemplation that bring people into closer contact with the environment. In my studio work of noting and drawing, photographing and tracing, the body is the mediator between thought and intimacy with space. I am guided by the idea that living beings produce the spaces in which they live, and in turn, are shaped by these spaces. I create works that explore how a shift in perception can generate a different understanding of our relationship to land.

Themes of connection, journey, and exchange in my works are always about finding ways to restore broken histories. I focus on human stories and bringing relationships with water, light, and time into greater focus.
