Paper textiles and sculpture / risograph prints and collage / 2020 - ongoing
The raw materials I use for my paper textile works are made from printed photographic documentations of myself performing nude poses that mirror Baltic Pagan symbols. These poses include the Pagan waxing and waning moons, and mimic ancient Eastern European figurines, specifically from the Paleolithic Age, that resemble mythological women such as the Spiral Goddess, Earth Mother and others. I then use risograph printing to reproduce these images, cut each figure by hand, and collage them into a finished piece, transforming the prints into a new form informed by various decorative symbols of traditional Lithuanian textiles.
