Information about the artist / the group

I am a visual artist who lives and works in Turku. I have a studio of The Finnish Artists' Studio Foundation at Art House Turku. I work conceptually in time and space arts. My artistic expression is based on moving images, and sculpturing and textile designing methods. I explore consumerism and its social and ecological sustainability through personal point of view. I examined that theme in the context of fashion in my solo exhibition titled Weight of Fabric which was on display in Helsinki and Tampere in 2023. I will continue to work on the same theme, examining it further and expanding into food which means producing new artworks and planning new exhibitions.

Program during Konstrundan

I present my artistic work with a small exhibition of recent works in progress and finished works.
