Kristina Austi (former name Daukintytė Aas) was born in 1978 in Klaipėda, Lithuania. Austi lives in Bergen, Norway; she works with the digital jacquard weave, embroidery, installations, video and collage. Her works appeal to our tactile sense through deliberate and steady craftsmanship. She questions our perceptual understanding and the relationship we have with our surroundings.
Kristina graduated from Bergen Academy of Art and Design in 2011. Since 2013, she has been working primarily with digital Jacquard weave: a technique that unites the old way of thinking on the woven surface with the new digital technology. She works part-time as a textile designer at Innvik AS, a weaving mill in Western Norway.
