(S L O W A R T)
At its core, Slow Art is about endurance—of love, of labor, of art-making itself. The project is a meditation on the quiet and often invisible struggles of domesticity, marriage, gender roles, and motherhood. It asks what it means to build a life through repetition, care, and persistence, and how those same forces shape our relationships, memories, and sense of self.
Wojtanowski’s work resists the rapid consumption of images in contemporary culture, instead demanding a slower, more intimate engagement. The images emerge gradually, layered and obscured, revealing the weight of time and the instability of memory. Their compositions are marked by both presence and absence—traces of touch, fragments of personal history, and the ghosts of past decisions. There is an underlying tension in this work, a push and pull between devotion and exhaustion, between beauty and struggle, between holding on and letting go.
By embracing imperfection, erosion, and transformation, Slow Art becomes an act of survival. It recognizes that the most enduring parts of our lives are not instantaneous but built over time, through small gestures, repeated efforts, and the willingness to persist.
Works vary in size from 18" x 24" to 54" x 48". These are cyanotype prints on Rives BFK watercolor paper. Individual works are made using a range of processes, including multiple exposures, bleaching and toning, and hand embellishment. Each piece is singular, edition 1 of 1.
This is an evolving body of work.
