Ep 137: Lara Kluczynski - Whimsical, Wearable Hat Sculptures
Description
Lara Kluczynski is a self-taught multimedia artist who hand sculpts whimsical, wearable hats and headpieces that blend fashion and sculpture. She combines decorative frieze-style elements with fantastical animals, balancing tradition and kitsch in her creations.
Lara explores innovative materials and techniques in her pieces, probing the boundaries between different art forms. Her style is theatrical, surreal and playful, with hints of antiquity and comedy sprinkled throughout. Lara’s work is currently featured in an online group exhibition at the Poetic Tiger Gallery entitled “Fables of Time” and in March 2026 she will have a solo show at that same gallery.
On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Lara about how she brings her creative visions to life, how her style has developed over time, and where she finds inspiration for her designs.
