About Vilte Kazlauskaite, felt artist:

Vilte is the owner of  VK. Felt Magic by Vilte Kazlauskaite. She lives in Lithuania and is a former dancer, psychologist and dance therapist; mother of 2 children. Since 2006 felt has become Vilte’s passion and interest that she has been studying by herself. Her love for felt has also been expressed by publishing the first book about felting technique in Lithuania in 2008.

Vilte: Felting is my passion, way of expression and tool for creating art. It is one of the oldest textile techniques and has endless possibilities for creation. It only takes wool, water and friction to create new textile piece. Though felting is probably the oldest textile technique, it is at the same time absolutely modern and extremely powerful technique for creating almost anything. It lets you transform such simple material as wool into new objects and forms. It lets you create color, it lets you create forms, it lets you create textures, it lets you create new materials. It is simple and sophisticated at the same time. It is very versatile.

verFilzt Und zugeNäht 3/10:

‘Aber natürlich hat das Tanzen einen Einfluss auf mein Filzen. Jede erfahrung im Leben beeinflusst uns, wie wir sind und was wir tun. Ich suche nach einem Ausdruck von Bewegung, Licht, einer Mischung aus Uhrsprünglichkeit und Eleganz in der Kleidung, die ich Filze. Das kommt sicherlich vom Tanzen.

Gefühle – auf diesen gemeinsamen Nenner lassen sich Vilte Kaslauskaites Inspirationsquellen bringen. Die Natur, das kulturelle Erbe, was es bedeutet, Mensch zu sein: ‘All diese Dinge erzeugen Gefühle. Uns das ist, was ich filze und ausdrücke. Die ganze Bandbreite der Gefühle. Meine Filzerei ist also mein Dialog mit einem Betrachter irgendeines Objekts – sie löst Gefühle aus, Erinnerungen, sie erzählt Geschichten und weckt die Sinne.’
