the red space (2013)
the Red Space is an installation piece which revolves around two recurrent themes in my practice – space and light. It consists of a support frame and 20 hand-painted red incandescent light bulbs. The light bulbs are suspended from a frame in various heights and spatially organised and distributed in to a grid. The overall effect creates a different feel of space in to which the spectator is invited to submerge. Dimmed light hides the exact dimension of the space while the red colour adds a somewhat theatrical feel. Due to the dimensions of the piece (3 by 4 metres approx.) this piece can be navigated through or experienced from a distance.
CONCEPT AND IDEA

This project was completed with the help of one Gintare Inokaityte. During this project we have set out to see if a simple linear drawing (of the same object) would attain a different character if the line would be drawn by a different person.
To do this we have made a plan of proceedings:
STAGE 1
Producing a photographic image of ourselves and projecting that image on a surface.
​
STAGE 2
Producing a linear drawing of that photograph (no shadowing, colour, etc.).
At first we have drawn images of ourselves, than we have switched places and drawn one another.
This project resulted in four real-scale drawings of myself and Gintare accompanied by a video record where the actual production of these drawings can be observed.
​Moreover an installation was made where the above mentioned drawings were exhibited together with two videos which contained a close shot record of both of our faces.
difference in line (2011)
the light box uses light to serve as an illustration of an tautological statement. The installation in question is a metal box with an aperture which reads 'light'. A light source inside of the box travels through the aperture and results in the word 'light' which is projected on to a surface. In this manner the 'substance' or the 'material' used to write the word 'light' is the light itself. The lingual construct coincides with the phenomenological object. What is falls together with how it is named and opens a sort of thought loop which travels between the physical object and the conceptual thought.

the sublime (2012)
the sublime is an installation employing space and light. The spectator is invited in to enter a confined, slighly claustrophobic space, approximatelly 3 metres long and 1 metre wide. Once the space is entered the attention is directed towrds a large screen (3 metres in width and 3 metres in height) upon which light is projected. The projection alternates between darkness and light and is accompanied by a custom sountract of computer generated noise, which also alternates from high to low pitch. The projection matrix generates a grid, which evokes associations of technology and machines. The name of the installation has its debt to Kant and Burke, since this is an exploration of the philosophical concept of the sublime - something absolutely great and terrifying.
