This ‘weaving’ pattern is loosely based on the idea of goose feathers, specifically the Golden Goose - the mythical bird that serves as a warning against blind greed. The frottage is comprised of rubbings from waste plastics and found surfaces, offering a mode of art making that takes as little as possible from the world’s resources.

 This work draws on the correlations between waste plastics, such as that sourced from biscuit packaging and meat trays, and snake skin. The 'weaving' pattern is loosely based on the markings that can be found in the European Adder, one of Lithuania's few indigenous snakes. The work alludes to the reinvention of self that happens with migrant diaspora's, where one needs to shed one's own identity, but it still forms a key part of one's new identity.
