Aspen and Afghanistan could not be farther apart. The world’s richest and poorest, best and worst educated, culturally, technogically, in faith, in governance, in skiers per capita in mountain towns. All that and you could.

Anka Dabrowska, a Warsaw born queer woman artist living and working in London, spoke to Artlyst on the eve of an exciting new project in the seaside town of Margate. Anka is a storyteller. She is a collector of the hidden tales she finds in the detritus others leave behind. She is deeply interested in the lives of others and objects that belong to those people that we too often overlook. Her work explores how the public negotiates its own landscape by transforming the every day and the mundane into magical sculptures or ‘anti-structures’ and intricate drawings that really do defy categorisation.
