Once upon a time:
"Once upon a time" How stories born? I remember and forget. My memory picks up somes pieces, creates my story. Reflections of life, through which light? New locations, worlds and associations are often the themes of my work. A wordless message, wondering and absurdity fascinate: these themes are present in my art process. My idea was to present nature as fragile, comprised of splinters and reflections. Small flashes, looking at moments, stopping.

"Blinds" "Meadow" "Tread" "the casual viewer and observation":
"Blinds (Trapnet)" "Meadow (Feather Flowers)" "Tread" My approach to the theme "the casual viewer and observation" is coloured with different meanings as I observe nature and the built-up urban environment. When I think about the city, I see blinds, closed curtains, fences, barbwires and surveillance cameras; whereas when I think about nature, I see suprising small details: flowers, all facing to same direction, blue dragonflies mating, the slow bending of reed, the suffocation of kelp. These three works are connected with bondering of the meaning of trapping: what does each work attempt to trap?

”It’s all there“ –sound installation:
Wind generates motion and this motion creates sound. Following the idea of the Italian Futurists and especially Luigi Russolo´s intonarumori (“noise instruments”), the audible outcome of this work is based on mechanically created noise sounds. John Cage called the same concept years later “the liberation of sound”. We listen to sounds, to which we normally never listen to and discover their beauty.

I DIDN`T MEAN TO HARM YOU:
Intentions and velleity, premise and result. I used a number of plastic bottles multiple of 12. A good intention parachuted exactly on the wrong point.

Orange elephants:
When I visited Lauttasaari for the first time I came to think a tropical paradise.The big grey rock resembled the back of an Indian elephant resting on the earth. I was laying on such a rock and thougt that only the elephants are missing. I wanted to bring them there but it did not seem possible to me, so I created my own myth: orange elephants in Lauttasaari. 0I will create souvenirs shop where the visitors can buy small orange elephants. You are welcome to dream with me about orange elephants of Lauttasaari.

Have it! (Take one!):
We don’t really need everything we want to own. We feel a drive for something just nice and quite useless. It is a feeling we cannot control. We look at things in shops, in commercials and we want them without thinking.
It goes similarly when we are in nature. Some likeable little stones, pieces of wood or shells. We want them because they are nice even we don’t really need them.
Do we really need to posses or would it maybe enough just to perceive, observe and see to make things “ours”?
My work contains objects that remind us of seeds, insect eggs, candies, stones or anything else. You want to take one with you? -- Have it!

You are what you eat” (table for two):
Are we really what we eat? Take a seat and have a look: How often we think about our habitus, can we break the fetters of the force of habit? Do you like what you see?
