Moi. I’m a Finnish multidisciplinary artist based in Turku, Finland.

I work with animation, installation, (textile) sculpture, text, and drawing. I create pieces and spaces that invite the audience to slow down and pause for a moment, to look closer and wonder what is in front of us, who put it there and why. I’m especially interested in shared experiences that hover between personal and general; emotions and affects that are experienced privately but spring from the culture and society around us. The world human has built around themself is an endless source of frustration and fascination.

Over the years my practise has had several thematic periods. Repetition, serialization and continuity are characteristic of my work. So far, I have worked on themes such as competition, performance-based society, disappointment, failure, identity, and Anthropocene.

At the moment I’m circling around absence. I am fascinated by the ambivalence of it, its elusive nature and essence, which requires presence to exist. I’m building an installation in my mind. As usual, it is made out of textile, but also sound and silence, a kind of non-present performance, new ways I haven’t gone down yet. For me that is artistic work at its best, when I follow paths that start out familiar but end up somewhere completely new.
