Honorata Hryciak is a Polish London based
visual artist, graphic designer and
photographer.
Honorata is currently completing her photography degree at London College of Communication, University of the Arts London.
While photography remains a central medium in her practice, her work extends
into mixed media—exploring textiles, embroidery, moving image, and a variety of printmaking techniques.
Her projects are deeply personal, often exploring themes of heritage, memory, and cultural identity through a multi-media approach. Drawing on family history—particularly the stories of the women in her lineage—Honorata uses traditional techniques like embroidery and cross-stitch alongside photography, moving image, and found materials to examine the ways personal and collective memory intertwine. Elements of Polish folklore, religion, and rural life appear throughout her work, reimagined through a contemporary lens. By juxtaposing delicate, time-consuming craft with raw, modern objects like safety clips, she explores the tension between past and present, tradition and modernity, permanence and change. Her practice becomes a way of navigating displacement, longing, and the ongoing process of reconnecting with a homeland left behind.
Honorata is also actively involved in London’s punk/musical subcultures—not
only documenting it through her lens but also participating as a member of DOTYK, a riot grrrl / experimental band. DOTYK is an ongoing collaboration with artist and musician Eliza Outlaw. Together, they co-create music and develop the band’s visual identity, designing posters and other graphic materials that reflect their shared vision.
