An interdisciplinary creative, working across fine art, visual communications, and more recently in fashion design.
Kuzmycz has an experimental fashion practice that looks at design interventions that could reshape wearer behaviour and reduce the over-consumption of fashion product. Kuzmycz is a PhD student in Fashion & Textiles at RMIT University with support from Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship.
Her fine art practice explores contemporary concepts of female identity, its multiplicity and self-authorship. These ideas stem from research into archetypes through historical storytelling, film, pop culture, social psychological theories and the visual arts. Underlying narratives in her work, give the sense that the main content is in the next work or even somewhere outside the frame altogether. Leaving the viewer to imagine and piece together their own story.
