Designed by Skoczek and woven by ATW weaver David Pearce, this intimate tapestry was produced during a short residency at ATW in 2025. A scaled-down translation of the artist’s 2024 oil painting of the same name, the work renders an ornate vase of white flowers suspended against a painterly field of reds and pinks, hinting at curtains and domestic textiles.
For Skoczek, ‘Flowers for Gosia’ is an ode to her late Aunt. The composition intertwines two memories: a bouquet of vibrant dahlias and cosmos received after her passing, and the image of Gosia herself, who permitted only white flowers in her home and garden. The quiet tension between restraint and abundance gently animates the work.
