As part of her solo exhibition “Settling Dust“ in Klaipėda , artist Agnė Juodvalkytė ( b. 1987 in Vilnius, Lithuania) shows textile objects and paintings from her recent studio practice.
Agnė Juodvalkytė uses textiles as a framework to understand culture, history and technology. She works with different materials, such as clothes, textiles, natural pigments, graphite dust, plants, fabrics made by her grandmother, and incorporates various mediums. Often presented in an anthropomorphic way, her works breathe their past into the present, becoming multidimensional artefacts extending not only into the space but also into time.
