My artistic practice takes a multidisciplinary approach, using sculpture, drawing and storytelling to create installations and happenings. The Female Warrior sculptures that emerge from my multidimensional process extend from the duality of the material – fragile porcelain – and their powerful gestures. They are drawn from life that crystallizes through conversations and interactions with my environment. The union of physical object, knowledge creation and spatial interaction are characteristics of my working method, which I call Curved Knowledge. It is a method of soft and non-linear knowledge-building, aimed at a mutual learning. In my holistic approach, I focus on the unity of mental and physical processes and seek ways to materialize memories and stories.

 

During the International Bone China Symposium I was working with recycled porcelain vases and objects, found at Kaunas flea markets and pieces from the Jiesia manufacture. My material research was on the fusion between recycled material and new porcelain elements created during the symposium.
