"Ewa Pachucka has always been fascinated by the apparent serenity and harmony that existed in primitive cultures before civilisation alienated man from man, and man from his environment. Each crochet stitch in her work is like a cell organically growing into a harmonious whole, whether it is an anatomical detail within a figure or a figure within a landscape."
(Robert Lindsay, August 1978)
