I am a printmaker, and I work at Ratamo Printmaking Workshop mainly with drypoint and woodcut. My works are poetic outbursts through which I free myself and wander into a spacious space. My images are narrative and representational. They often feature human or animal figures in their own comic-tragic worlds. I am also involved in several collaborative projects, such as Project Babel. I study visual arts and art history at the Universities of Lapland and Jyväskylä.
I will present my latest works and the Ratamo hut to the public. I will show the adventures and insights I have had in making woodcuts, my own learning process. Visitors will be able to try out techniques on a collaborative piece, which I will print on the wall of the workshop after the event. The theme of the collaborative piece will be the falling, loose leaves, fruit and raindrops of autumn.
