Emilka Wolniewicz (she/her) is a Polish-American artist, writer, and researcher. She is fascinated by theories of chaos, consumerism, translation, repetition, beauty, and wit, and how these entities merge together to reflect on the peculiar action of contemporary consumerism and pop culture at large. Her work is ornamented with extravagant bizarreness and gently disrupts the innate utility of textiles while still preserving their history, labor, material considerations, and voice.

Emilka holds an MFA in Fiber and Material Studies, BS in Nutrition, and BA in Human Physiology. She is a Chicago-based maker focusing on weaving, garments, sewing, coding, and fashion research.
