DOVILE SIMONYTE<br />
Lithuania<br />
Lithuanian artist Dovile Simonyte is a BA<br />
graduate from Slade School of Fine Arts and<br />
amongst our youngest contributors. Through<br />
her art, Simonyte aims to “reach and develop<br />
everyday intuitive power of knowing before<br />
thinking, taking unknown paths and following<br />
a mind compass to reach the desired<br />
destination”.<br />
According to Simonyte, having come from<br />
the far north of Lithuania has compelled<br />
her to daily exercise such abilities, including<br />
intuition, as road signs are nearly non-existent<br />
in that region of the country. To her, this is also<br />
applicable for many of her fellow millennials<br />
today, who were born into a rapidly and everchanging<br />
world where conventional values,<br />
education or family structures no longer bear<br />
much assurance for the future.<br />
<strong>The</strong> panel donated for this exhibition is<br />
inspired by the hand, which may be seen as<br />
the ultimate universal instrument that can<br />
simultaneously receive and produce. After all,<br />
hands are our primary tools used to create<br />
sound, melodies and all other forms of artistic<br />
expression. It is through the guidance of<br />
intuition that we can improvise channeling our<br />
destiny (artistic and/or musically) written on<br />
our palms.<br />
