Between January and July 2023, I posted TypoGraphics on social media and asked people to comment on them with a title. I then responded to a ‘chosen one’ title with a new TypoGraphic, to which the community responded with a new title, and so on.

Venla and Mark publish an interview with me in their cultural international magazine Särö. They discovered my work in a library in Stockholm when they were delayed from continuing their journey due to a storm. What a lovely coincidence!
Thank you for going through the world with open eyes, it's wonderful to have met you!

No. 18 of the TYPEWRITTEN series: WEAVING PATTERNS FOR POETRY by Egidija Čiricaitė.
"Inspired by Lithuanian textile patterns, my visual poems are typewritten into the twilight space between weaving, writing and speaking. Traditionally, weaving used to happen during long winter evenings; it was accompanied by singing and storytelling — thus tying together the craft of textiles and the craft of narration. WEAVING PATTERNS FOR POETRY explores traditional Lithuanian bedspread patterns, exploiting (often) bilingual shifts between words and concepts, composing poetry as a score between the visual and the verbal, the verbal and the aural, the aural and the auratic, the auratic and the material. " (Egidija Čiricaitė)
This book contains 6 typewritten visual poems and 6 printer's summeries.

5 years ago, on this day, I got my first Gestetner mimeograph from Erwin Blok in Almeo. This was the beginning of an exciting time for me full of trials and experiments on how and what to print with mimeograph duplicators.
Since then I have mimeo printed and published almost 60 artist books, editions and magazines. I want to celebrate this - with a 5-day SALE on all available mimeo printed items in my webshop.
