About the Artist
Kasia Dudkiewicz is a fibre artist based in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria, creating sculptural works that explore the emotional and sensory power of texture.
Her practice began as a quiet, intuitive response to personal transformation—driven by the need to slow down, to untangle, and to feel. What started as knotting cord became a form of meditation and meaning-making: a way to give shape to the unseen. Today, that same instinct continues to guide her process.
Kasia works almost exclusively with natural fibres such as cotton, wool, and jute. Each piece is made entirely by hand, using techniques like knotting, looping and layering to create works that feel both grounded and alive. Her pieces often explore tension and softness, structure and surrender—holding emotional contrast in physical form.
Her work is as much about process as it is about outcome. Repetition becomes rhythm. Texture becomes language. And fibre becomes a conduit for connection—between artist and viewer, space and self, stillness and feeling.
Working from her home studio in regional Victoria, Kasia has exhibited in both solo and group shows and her work is held in private collections across Australia and Europe. She creates for interiors, collectors, and curated spaces, with a practice that blends material sensitivity, emotional resonance, and quiet strength.
Artist Statement
Kasia Dudkiewicz’s work is a conversation between fibre and self—a practice of reflection, resilience, and rediscovery. She was drawn to fibre art at a moment when life asked her to slow down. Motherhood, personal shifts, and quiet self-inquiry sparked a deeper awareness of the unconscious patterns shaping her inner world. What began as knotting rope became a transformative language—one that allowed her to untangle the invisible knots of inherited habits, emotion, and experience.
Her process is deeply intuitive. She manipulates fibre into sculptural forms that hold contrast—tension and softness, structure and surrender, control and release. The repetition of knotting, looping, and layering reflects her ongoing relationship with self-exploration. Some moments are precise. Others unravel.
With a focus on natural materials like cotton and wool, Kasia embraces texture, imperfection, and movement. Her work invites not just visual admiration, but tactile interaction and emotional resonance. These are pieces that ask to be felt.
At Knotted by Hand, she crafts considered fibre artworks for collectors, interior designers, and curated spaces. Each piece is made slowly, deliberately, and with great care—designed to hold both space and meaning in the environments they live within.

MY STORY
Hi, I’m Kasia, a Polish girl who calls Australia home, living the country life in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria. Welcome to Knotted by Hand. My journey with art began at a very young age, I grew up immersed in and captivated by my late Aunt’s artistic expression, always feeling an irresistible pull to all things creative. My earliest memories are of laying on a wooden floor under my aunties work desk, the smell of paint permeating the air, the feeling of textured paper under my fingertips and the sight of paint brushes being deftly used on canvas. The magic of her workspace hypnotising me and capturing my imagination.
Since becoming a mother to the two most wonderful boys, which in my eyes has been my biggest achievement, I have immersed myself in motherhood.
