Agnieszka Nowicka

MA Design and Applied Arts

Bringing together the wonder of the natural world – tropical rainforests, wildlife, landscapes and a passion for the history of my own culture, my work explores motifs from folklore and nature through a variety of media. 

The use of colour in my designs is very important to me and I create bright and bold designs - patterns that bring joy. When creating my designs, I like to challenge my creative practice and push boundaries to create interesting and unexpected outcomes. 

‘A break from reality’ is a collection of printed textiles for high-end fashion where I utilise my own heritage by researching Polish folklore, and wildlife nature. Legends are often the first stories that someone told us, where we used our imagination to fill a magical world, almost like an escape from reality. By mixing inspiration from tales and fascinating nature I created this collection- designs that are filled with imagination.

Degree Show 2021, Wolverhampton School of Art, George Wallis Building, University of Wolverhampton

Over the last few weeks we have had a film crew on site in the School of Art recording student experiences and their work. The last year, has undoubtedly been a huge challenge to students and staff in the School of Art. We have found ourselves working at home in make-shift spaces and often with limited materials and kit. Our staff and students have been hugely inventive in finding opportunities and outlets to keep learning live  - and this, in itself, is a testament to our creativity and resilience as a sector.
