Artist's Statement
My main source of inspiration is in nature, like for many artists in Finland.
We Finns still live near nature, where colours, lights and structures exist in their most perfect form.
Nature composes groups and assembles or dismantles materials in the right way, authentically.
Nature never is wrong.
My approach to work, when it comes to the making, is closely connected to the space, proportions, atmosphere and light.
I actually regard my pieces as part of the architecture.
I try to sense –and to deliver the atmosphere of the space, "GENIUS LOCI". For a long time already my main material has been MICA, also called MUSCOVITE or FOOL's GOLD.
Mica is a fragile, yet tough material with a powerful shimmering and transparent character. My reflections are about snow, ice and water -
