My eco felt fashion and photography by Victor Morozov

I have been lucky enough to win a photo shoot with wonderful talented photographer Victor Morozov.  It was an unforgetable experience, lot’s of impressions and emotions, and fun!
I chose only eco dyed with plants hand felted outfit for the photo shoot. The photo shoot took place in Vilnius, Lithuanian capital. It was really interesting choice to show the “eco” living in the urbanized world. Please enjoy!

Man iš tiesų pasisekė laimėti fotosesiją su nuostabiu fotografu Victor Morozov. Be galo daug neišdildomų įspūdžių, potyrių, emocijų, nuotykių iš fotosesijos Vilniaus mieste. Mano pasirinkti apdarai – visi iš eko serijos, t.y. dažyti ekologišku būdu augalais arba natūralių spalvų, velti ant šilko. Taigi sprendimas “eko” apgyvendinti urbanizacijoje buvo labai įdomus ir tikrai įspūdingas.
Fotografas, kuris pasakoja istorijas… apie laisvę, apie laumes, apie…

FOOD FOR THE SOUL. [CHRISTMAS]



FOOD FOR THE SOUL
[CHRISTMAS]
Felt exhibition
An exhibition of functional felt objects – as a collection of traces of traditional meanings in this modern world of globalization.
At first glance it is just a simple game of eight felt makers - Daiva Morozova, Viltė Kazlauskaitė, Ramunė Toleikytė, Inga Samušienė, Donata Dumčiuvienė, Aurelija Masiulionytė, Jurgita Migonienė, and Vaida Petreikienė. Felters, playing with felt surfaces and colours that remind you of a smoke spiced herring or “kūčiukai” – traditional Lithuanian pastry served with poppy seed milk, or cranberry jelly, or hemp salt with boiled potatoes… A subject of Christmas food and variations of common fashion accessories.
However, after getting deeper into every exhibited object and its story that underlie simple lines of felt, you realize the meaning of collating felt and Christmas food by the felt makers of this exhibition.
Christmas food symbolizes respect and consonance, it is food that unites all living family members and guests from the world beyond – souls of our ancestors. Authors of the exhibition refer to a belief that souls of the ancestors hold onto plants, hair and wool…
Drawing their inspiration from ancient traditional meanings of Christmas food, authors complement it with modern touch of this celebration, symbolically connecting wool as a sacred shelter of souls and blessed food for all living and dead, wind, cold, and bees. Authors of the exhibition, using modern felting techniques, invite us to “feast” and rediscover the meanings of this holly period of time even in such (at first glance) common and casual cosmopolitan fashion accessories – felt objects with special purport.

And a little preview of one of my works for this mini exhibition - eco friendly dress, dyed with plants. It is inspired by traditional Lithuanian Christmas Eve food - oat jelly.



“Kalėdzienė”

Funkcinių veltinio objektų paroda – senųjų prasmių pėdsakų kolekcija šiuolaikiniame globalėjančiame pasaulyje.
Iš pirmo žvilgsnio tai tik paprastas aštuonių veltinio meistrių - Daivos Morozovos, Viltės Kazlauskaitės, Ramunės Toleikytės, Ingos Samušienės, Donatos Dumčiuvienės, Aurelijos Masiulionytės, Jurgitos Migonienės, Vaidos Petreikienės žaidimas veltinio paviršiais ir spalvomis – čia primenančiais dūmų skonio silkę, čia kūčiukus, aplipusius aguonos grūdeliais, čia spanguolių kisielių ar kanapinę druską su bulvėmis. Kalėdinio stalo tematika bei įvairios kasdienių aksesuarų stiliaus variacijos.
Ir vis dėlto, įsiklausius į kiekvieną parodos objektą ir istorijas, slypinčias už paprastų veltinio kontūrų, galima suvokti, kodėl autorės parodoje gretina vilną ir Kalėdinį maistą.
Kūčių ir Kalėdų stalas, simbolizuojantis pagarbą ir santarvę, – tai vaišės, apjungiančios ne tik gyvuosius šeimos narius, bet ir svečius iš anapus – protėvių vėles. Autorės remiasi tikėjimu, jog protėvių vėlės linkusios prisilaikyti augaluose, plaukuose ir...vilnose...
Semdamosis įkvėpimo iš senųjų šventinio stalo prasmių, autorės įneša šiuolaikinio švenčių prieskonio, simboliškai apjungia vilną– sakralų vėlių prieglobstį ir šventas vaišes gyviesiems ir mirusiems, vėjui, šalčiui ir bitėms. Naudodamos modernias veltinio technikos galimybes, autorės parodos lankytojus kviečia „vaišintis“, iš naujo atrandant šventojo laikotarpio prasmes net ir tokiuose iš pirmo žvilgsnio kasdieniuose kosmopolitiško stliaus atributuose - savaip įprasmintuose veltinio objektuose.

Alchemy of plants continues

I keep on studying plants and their properties. And having dreams of their roots, leaves and blossoms at night, as well as their latin and common names spining in my head while I sleep.
And getting amazed how blind I have been walking on the green grass and seeing just a green grass before when I see hundreds of different species of our green world now...

My experiments with eco / plant dyeing continue

with my nuno felt shawl "Tale of Gold" that has a memory of many kinds of plants - their blossoms and leaves.



and another wild and elegant bracelet from rare Drenthe Heath wool, merino wool, silk (all dyed with plants) and amber - "Desert Kings and Queens"


P.S. Many thanks to all of you for featuring my work again on:

Alchemy of blossoms

For the last few weeks I've been collecting samples of various kinds of plants - blossoms and leaves (as well as scrap metals). Another dare for the pretender? Yes.
Discovering the world of botanics. I've always been interested in plants, their use for medicine purpose, always experimenting with growing plants from the seeds. But this time I am interested in pigments they hold. Colour. The colour of Universe.

I've started my eco series with plant dyeing that I called "Memories". Everything around us has memory. Starting from memories in our mind, memories of our skin sensing a touch, memories of water of any kind of vibration met in its way and...memories of the cloth that once embraced the fruits of Mother Earth - blossoms, leaves, berries, fruits, wood, mud, coal or even blood.. and left its traces. And memories of those same blossoms and leaves of the wild and endless fields, meadows, forests, open sky, rain, soil, wind or touch of a bee. All of those memories harboured in the same piece of cloth...

I gathered some pieces of our Universe...

And started my eco series with eco printing and dyeing. Just 3 plants from those produced clear visible colours, but it was a real alchemy - memories expressed in sand, maroon, grey, green and eggplant colours in a top "Linden Lea". And it smelled divine...
