bio
I am a visual artist from Järvenpää,Finland and I make sculptures, installations and prints. I prefer to use recycled or non-conventional materials such as hair, rye dough or root vegetables. My works make a statement but they do not condemn; their themes are something I find personally important like animal welfare, for example. I enjoy doing and experiencing new things and I hope I can transmit that feeling in my works.
i am (born 1966)a visual artist from järvenpää, whose art is characterised by playfulness and audacious experiments with materials. i combine ready-made parts from flea market finds into new entities, tapping into the possibilities of visual arts and traditional handicraft in a versatile manner.
dough as well as dog hair, domestic cardboard as well as old furs qualify as materials for works of art. that’s why i collect old puppets, game pawns, leather belts, bent spectacle rims, seam tights, torn dog toys...
the themes in my works range from consumption to animal rights, from genetic engineering to being different. the works make a strong statement; i do not moralise, but my works stir thoughts through humour.
