My creative and academic practice occupies a constellation of interrelated activities across artistic, poetic, and scholarly spaces centred around language. My textual and visual work plays with and around words through (type)writing, publishing, performing, and research, contemplating and creating nebulous worlds at the periphery of reading experience.
Born in Kaunas, Lithuania, I am based in London, finishing an interdisciplinary PhD at the Slade School of Fine Art with UCL Linguistics, London.

My work is often described as poetry and artist books. Often written bilingually, they are composed with visual noise, that amplifies material and immaterial interferences between verses and their audience.
I play with the reading experience, with the interval between seeing and reading, reading and experiencing a work of literature or art.
I play with the dust of knowledge, memory and culture, that clings to us and our words, directing appreciation, creating ambiguity, untranslatability.
I play with hazy edges of snow, billow, white,  and sniegas, miegas, sliekas,  as I do with blurred boundaries of book, poem, genre, and authenticity.

My creative practice contemplates the ideas of authenticity, continuity, and the notion of otherness though visual and textual writing. My most recent body of work is inspired by the patterns of her family’s heirloom textiles, woven in a small village in south Lithuania. Composed on a typewriter, my prints, visual poetry and artist books illuminate the twilight space between innovation and tradition, authenticity and copy, home and other.   I use typewriting as a metaphor for weaving, and weaving as a metaphor for writing and speaking.
Navigating between the mythopoetics of today and the past, between English and Lithuanian, between the digital and the analogue, between text and textile, my poetry** and prints abide on ethereal Japanese papers between existence, illusion and unbeing.

My practice is informed by my research*** and interests in linguistics, with a particular focus on cognitive pragmatics and relevance theory. My theoretical research examines non-propositional effects and the role of ostensive acts in literary and visual arts. My paper "On Decoy Artist Books: Do Judge the Book by its Cover" is due to be published in Artist Books Year Book 2026/27 (University of West England, Bristol) in spring 2026.

I am currently a PhD candidate*** at the Slade School of Fine Art and UCL Linguistics, working on interdisciplinary research, using Relevance Theory to address the role non-propositional effects in the interpretation of the artists books.
