Tarja Ervasti
Lighting designer MA, University of Arts Helsinki, b.1957. Lives in Helsinki, Finland
My light art works are installations, environmental art and lighting sculptures, including permanent pieces within urban environments. My works have been exhibited in galleries, group exhibitions and light art happenings. My orientation towards environmental light art is often culturally site specific. In my installations I explore space and light through shadows, reflections and colour. I create spaces for meditative perception – often my works examine the spiritual qualities which light carries. I have planned and curated several environmental and light art projects as well as been a jury member in light art competitions. My career as a lighting designer includes close to a hundred lighting and set design works in the fields of drama, dance and opera.
