All about ceramics

  • Eglė's works transform clay into light, floating structures that seem to hover in space
  • She combines ceramics with a spiritual, Christian worldview
  • She actively participates in symposia and international exhibitions

Eglė Einikytė-Narkevičienė hand builds her ceramic works, exploring contemporary sculptural forms that evoke a sense of lightness. Her practice is defined by a balance between the weight of material and visual lightness, between form and space. From the very beginning of her artistic journey, Eglė was fascinated by how clay, a solid material, can suggest states of floating, fragility and weightlessness. She understands ceramics as an expression of inner states and spiritual searching. "My works speak about human longing, the desire to rise above everyday life to seek light and truth," she says. Eglė is an active member of the contemporary ceramics field, continuously developing her artistic language and contributing to the evolution of ceramic practice.

Eglė Einikytė-Narkevičienė is an expert artisan: she began her career in 2000.

INTERVIEW

I like it that ceramics are universal and boundless. I could compare it to the Holy Testament: you can spend your whole life analysing it and still not understand anything. Ceramics allow me to be a painter, a graphic artist and a jewellery maker. I am fascinated by Raku ceramics and Anagama ceramics.

When creating, I often try out new techniques and materials. I am frequently tempted to devise an interesting glaze. But in the end, the idea matters more than the execution. I make the sculptures by hand from clay, then spray them with glaze or coloured engobes.

Sometimes I am inspired by the simple things around me, or by a successful glaze experiment, other times it can be interesting exhibitions or good artworks. I observe my surroundings and I like what I see.

It’s very important to be patient. You shouldn’t expect to get quick results. Someone who wants to become a ceramicist needs to have a lot of patience and courage to experiment. Ceramics only becomes more beautiful like that.
