MA (Aalto University), b. 1980, lives in Helsinki, Finland
I'm a multidisciplinary artist and artisan and working with light gives me freedom of expression in a dreamlike way. Scaling from small to big or layering objects such broken glass and seeds tells stories of the place, the land and ways of interacting with it. My site-specific and process-based works and projects are usually an experimental mix of materials and usually filled with different traditional crafting skills. I am interested in identities, social behavior, traditions, learning by doing, communities, nature-relation, public space, wastelands, fibers and forests.
