MR X STITCH PRESENTS A WORK OF LITHUANIAN ARTIST SEVERIJA INČIRAUSKAITĖ-KRIAUNEVIČIENĖ
11th – 14th October Lithuanian artist Severija Inčirauskaitė-Kriaunevičienė has been invited to participate in the "Mr X Stitch presents…" exhibition at this year’s Knitting & Stitching Shows in the UK. Severija Inčirauskaitė-Kriaunevičienė’s works involve embroidery on metal. This is what she has to say about her work: "In my work, I take pleasure in things that are only insignificant details to most people. An ordinary human being and mundane fragments of his or her life acquire an exceptionally important meaning in my works; whereas, recognised icons of beauty are less important to me. A banal understanding of beauty and utilitarian things: these are the objects that interest me and inspire creation. Therefore, I use fragments of popular culture, the so-called kitsch, in my art. When they appear in a new context, like some kind of ‘quotations’, they help to create works that reveal my personal experience and point of view.
11th – 14th October, Alexandra Palace, London N22 7AY. http://www.alexandrapalace.com/whats-on/the-knitting-stitching-show/
