Skulenie, Dwie, Odbicie, 2003
"It is not the literalness of the images which is their most important element but rather the capturing of the atmosphere of an
alien world. What provokes nausea and revulsion is placed together with what refers to a distanced, limited, enclosed in back lines horizon of events."
- Marek Gozdziewski, Monika Weiss: Works on Paper, pp.2-4, catalogue text, 1995, Warsaw, Poland
"Weiss makes drawings with her body, leaving a trail or trace of her movements. The charcoal marks speak of the body stretching across the paper. Skulenie and Dwie are two large-scale drawings in a series of
representations of her body in curled-up or standing positions, represented in a very darkened, abstracted way, calling to mind an evidence of circularity in the way she works, and revealing the presence of the living body of the artist."
