High tide At high tide, it feels like all kinds of things wash ashore. Traces of pasts that have nothing to do with me. Boxes full of stuff from other times. In the middle of an unspoiled environment, signs of our presence still become visible. Who knows what lies on the bottom of the sea […]

For a while today For a while today I felt like just a being in this body. Without gender or goals, a profession. I’m foraging mushrooms, using this body of mine. These eyes. I’m nothing, but something nonetheless. Helsinki Artists’ Association HAA gallery, 2024

Two seasons Come spring the feeling of having nothing to give started to fade. Works made during a year spent in Lapland with the companion of a dog-friend, 2022.

Dreams of spaces leading nowhere Something I’ve seen while sleeping: spaces that have a logic of a feeling. Some have been with me since childhood, others new and oppressively exciting.  Series of works made during spring 2020.

By the methane sea Let us say that instead of water there would flow methane. One would inhale hydrogen gas. To imagine something that is unattainable by both distance and circumstances. – I have recently thought about places that are so remote that almost anything can be imagined there. It is possible that we have […]

I made you a good home In a recurrent dream I find a rodent cage on top of my closet. I’ve forgotten its existence for months, maybe years. The animals run wild and have reproduced uncontrollably. I try to divide them into smaller metallic and plastic cages – just to stop the breeding. One has […]

Series of four monotype prints called Änäkänselän asutuksen jäänteitä I-IV (Remainings of Änäkänselkä habitation I-IV), all 59,4 × 84,1 cm. I thought of finding signs of first native settlements around my summer cabin woods. These were seen in the Exhibition no. 2 of our since defunct co-operative group called Cornershop.
