6/30/2023 0 Comments The pink trance notebooksSitting at her kitchen table, Wojciechowsky would work in a trance-like state filling notebooks with jottings that recall Surrealist automatic writings. This marked the onset of her automatic writings and her artistic development. Propelled by Mona, Marks' young Native American spirit guide, and by her own spiritual gatekeeper Morning Glory, the artist began to draw by strapping a small pencil to her hands with a rubber band. Sometime after World War II, Wojciechowsky was introduced to psychic Bertha Marks. She married Polish immigrant Leo Wojciechowsky, settled in New York, where they raised two children. She emigrated to the United States in 1923, where she was employed as a governess, and later as a seamstress and laundress. Spirits Among Us reveals the enigmatic and rarely seen world of this renowned artist and medium healer in a wide range of works on paper created from 1951 to 1978, along with a selection of automatic writings and artifacts from her life.īorn in Steinach, Germany, the artist reported experiencing her first visions at the age of four. Andrew Edlin Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of works by Agatha Wojciechowsky (1896-1986), the first held in New York since 1972.
