Touting Clouds 25 x 33cm Painting

Neringa Dastoor (b.1978, Lithuania) is an alumna of the Royal College of Art in London. She moved back to England after 2 years in Brooklyn, New York. She mark-makes, stitches on textiles and, with photography and short film, she also mixes media to produce artefacts. Her current works look at the everyday, with focus on familiarity. With her abstract, tactile, mark-making works she responds to the human interpretation of what familiarity means. Her visual configurations are subject to the response of human adaptivity, physicality, repetitiveness, gestures in one’s own kitchen, culture, utility tools, architectural space, mental states, loss of loved ones, found objects, chemistry, manners of strangers, making friends, language, moving in crowds, and the natural world. She is also ma-ma to two children who don’t help to make art, literally, but conceptually or motivationally they do.
