Born in Detroit, Michigan, she grew up in Poland and the United States. The duality of this experience has strongly influenced her artistic sensibility. Her work is about moments that reveal a fragmented narrative. She looks for traces – presence in absence and absence in presence; the in-between. Her themes address what is fleeting, the fickleness of memory and patterns of chance. A recurring sense of dislocation emerges while possibilities of fate, unlikely connections and everyday vagaries echo throughout. Monika Sosnowski has been a Visiting Artist at Bennington College in Bennington, VT and at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, NY.
