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

My work is a conversation between fibre and self—a practice of reflection, resilience, and rediscovery. I was drawn to fibre art at a moment when life asked me to slow down. Motherhood, personal shifts, and quiet self-inquiry sparked a deeper awareness of the unconscious patterns shaping my inner world. What began as knotting rope became a transformative language—one that allowed me to untangle the invisible knots of inherited habits, emotion, and experience.

My process is deeply intuitive - I manipulate fibre into sculptural forms that hold contrast—tension and softness, structure and surrender, control and release. The repetition of knotting, looping, and layering reflects my ongoing relationship with self-exploration. Some moments are precise. Others unravel.

With a focus on natural materials like cotton and wool, I embrace texture, imperfection, and movement. My work invites not just visual admiration, but tactile interaction and emotional resonance. These are pieces that ask to be felt.

At Knotted by Hand, I  craft 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.
