About me
ABOUT ME
How can I
describe myself: someone who creates, thinks and enjoys what I create. The feeling that craft (weaving in particular)
lives in me and has apparently been running through my veins for a long time.
It was enough to see the old craftsmen who weave, to revive the codes of the
past, reflected in the fabrics left to us by our ancestors. That is how I got
the good bacillus that I live with and share with you.
What ERČIA is? It is a very old
Lithuanian word that refers to an empty area and space, a clearing or a part of
a house that’s mostly unoccupied. For me, it is a space that encompasses the
transcendent and the earthly being. It includes the notion of home where the divine
and the earthly cosiness exist. Then the empty place ceases being empty, it is
filled with the invisible and the visible. All ideas float in the invisible
plane, whereas simple objects fill the visible plane. All this creates cosiness
and presence on three levels: spirit, soul and earthly essence.
My work is
often dominated by the diamond, a rhombus, which has a sacred meaning. The
rhombus has a central point, representing the beginning, the sun and life. This
is what the fabric of life is woven from, and weaving reflects that.
The rhombus
also encodes more meanings. We can see the four axes of the world in it; the
four corners of home. The top of the diamond symbolises the feminine, and the
bottom – the masculine.

The preservation of ancient traditions,
like the craft of weaving.

Because weaving is time-consuming, you can

exclusivity. A piece of work like this will always claim to be one of a kind.
The rug will have accumulated more energy, warmth and the attention of the
person who weaves it.
I don't think the linen needs any introduction.
It speaks for itself: always durable and natural.

So...
I invite you to create together and let the magic come into your home.
