Jo Burzynska

Dr Jo Burzynska is an Ōhinehou-based multimedia artist, researcher, and writer.

Initially working in sound, over the years her practice has become increasingly multisensory, making work that often combines sound, taste, touch, and the scents she often distills herself. She is actively engaged in research into sensory interactions and their creative application, using a practice she calls crossmodal art.

This research has been informed by collaborations with psychologists and sensory scientists, and was the focus of her practice-led doctoral research at UNSW Art & Design. She is currently interested in exploring the different connections and understandings that can be made between people, culture, and place through a focus on embodied and nonvisual sensory knowledge.
