"I don't like rules and regulations. They are the enemies of imagination"- Magdalena Abakanowicz
"The works she makes are finite - they have a certain size, weight, consistency. Nevertheless, they change depending on the space they organize. They are different in different exhibition rooms, different in a landscape, different individually, different in a collective. They belong to one family, one biological species and, as happens in nature, have mimetic properties. (...) What changes is the relationship between them, the content of the expression. While maintaining the general sense of the message, the rest is relative. The message they carry is universal."
Mariusz Hermansdorfer, Traces of Existence. In tribute to Magdalena Abakanowicz (1913-2017), exhibition catalog, June 22 - August 25, Wroclaw 2017.
