Sleep on the Sea

Most of coast lines in Finland are frozen in the winter. Here I swam in the summer, and now I can sleep. How amazing it is!

Sampo is here!

We had workshop with children during 25-27. January. In the workshop the children made own Sampo with cake lace paper. After the workshop we hung them in a room in the museum´s courtyard, where are set up the black light. Monster, cat, flower etc…. many beautiful Sampo are created by them. In the Kalevala, Sampo smashed out in to the sea, but now Sampo was brought back in front of us by children.

The works are exhibited in the museum’s courtyard during the exhibition”Middle of Nowhere”. Everyone can see the works with free in the museum´s opning hours, just visit there!

Infinity

The title is “Ääretön” in Finish, “Infinity” in English. I made an installation with cake lace paper using whole space, the walls, the ceilings,  and the floor. It became my biggest work in recently years. It took almost 10 days to install with warm helps of an assistant Fanni and museum technical team. Fanni installed completely the floor for me. Without her and their helps, the installation would never finished.

“What is the image of the installation? The sea? The universe? ” I had questions from the audiences. Actually, the patterns are based on Baroque ornaments. In the last summer project in Rauma, I tried to express the moment, in which the audiences feel that they are floating and melting into the landscape in Rauma. In this time, I tried to express the same feeling with Baroque ornaments.
