Projects
- The Immortality DishThis piece was made towards a specific project, where I produced a commissioned piece. In 2015, when the piece was produced, I chose to celebrate the 150th birthday of a famous Finnish painter, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, by making this small dish, inspired by his painting, the Aino triptych. The painter tells a story of Aino, who is supposed to marry an old sage, Väinämöinen, but chooses to rather drown herself and go live with the maids of Vellamo instead of marrying Väinämöinen. Researching the movement of water and seashells I created this piece. The undulated chased copper surface directs water towards the deepest part of the bowl, where it keeps on twirling forevermore.
- Memory of an instant: The Token BroochesMemory of an instant explores the artist's embodied memory surrounding a specific fell located in the Northern Finland, Lapland. Venturing to the wilderness, documenting it through series of photographs inspired the artist to raise the form of the photograph into an object of it's own right. Through the used of transparent materials she is framing the reality, allowing the viewer see through the pieces to the world around them while projecting her own work into their mindscape. By the use of laser etching she carved pictures of the tokens gathered during the experience, thus linking it with the unique environment surrounding the bare fell in the middle of nowhere. The transparency also leaves the pieces into a constant change - as hte light changes and shadows deepen the look of the transparent pieces alters as a new perspective arises. Memory of an instant collection is consisted of two different type of brooches: The Ephemeral Brooches and the Token Brooches.
