ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I am an artist currently living and working in my native country, Finland.

As an artist, I am interested in the symbolic meanings of matter, connections between matter and mind, as well as life, death and rebirth, growth, destruction and reconstruction. My works explore man's search for their place in the cosmos, where dualistic opposites create a cyclic order in nature and human activity. My interest in dualistic opposites, such as change and immutability, femininity and masculinity, or mythology and science, reaches from individual experience and memories to how I see world history and collective memory.

I mainly work with sculpture and installation using different materials such as clay, ash and lead. Along with three-dimensional works, I also work with drawing. However, I feel that the most important function of technique is to serve the material, as well as the intangible ideas expressed by the material. Material means something. Thoughts mean something. The requirement for me to study this very spiritual world of metaphysics is the study of the material world.
