Fiskars AIR

Honored to be chosen by Rozentāls-seura as an artist in residence at Fiskars this September.

I will be working on subjects of fragility and connectivity. We sometimes forget that all the waters, as well as us, are connected – the relationship between humans and water is reciprocal, everything in the world is interdependent. The fragility or stress in nature mostly comes from human interaction; global warming and related, consequential processes change the long time established natural cycles. I will be approaching these themes, inspired by natural course and phenomena to create images, installation and sculptural artwork that also use and consider malleability of image's physical form and visual, fleeting image, ideas of repetition, processing, multilayering and change.
