The theme of the artwork „4x4“ is – ceramics<br />
+ <strong>textile</strong>. It‘s a synthesis of two art fields:<br />
different stylistic devices <strong>and</strong> a Lithuanian<br />
folk pattern which plays the dominating<br />
role. We chose Lithuanian folk weave<br />
„dymai” <strong>and</strong> made a different interpretation<br />
of this pattern. The weave pattern attracts<br />
eye by its simplicity <strong>and</strong> contrastive colours.<br />
The choice of colours makes the art piece close<br />
to optical art (two colours which are contrastive<br />
like black <strong>and</strong> white), but our choice<br />
of brown <strong>and</strong> milky white makes it look<br />
cozier. The combination of these colours<br />
creates aesthetic feeling. This work is our<br />
first experiment joining ceramics with <strong>textile</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> changing the function of these fields.<br />
We are using the traditional pattern in a<br />
contemporary way – dyeing material <strong>and</strong><br />
playing with st<strong>and</strong>ards (st<strong>and</strong>ard tea box<br />
4x4, cookies form). Unlike the old times, we<br />
don‘t weave fabric. Instead we are using<br />
stencil <strong>and</strong> are dyeing fabric with <strong>textile</strong><br />
paint like in industrial production. The fabric<br />
still has its function – you can wash it, use<br />
dry cleaning, but the applied function is lost.<br />
Ceramics <strong>and</strong> <strong>textile</strong> art fields which usually<br />
are applied arts, with this work disappear.<br />
It`s more a fine art piece than applied. Small<br />
ceramic pieces glued on fabric as if disappear<br />
in it, the same as small fabric pieces<br />
disappear in a ceramic garl<strong>and</strong>. The garl<strong>and</strong><br />
is light; usually ceramics is not like that. We<br />
are mystifying the viewer by creating a mirror<br />
structure; ceramics disappears in <strong>textile</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>textile</strong> disappears in ceramics.<br />
