‘View I’
2022
porcelain, stoneware, Finnish red earthenware
Size: 160 cm x 80 cm x 5 cm
‘View I’ was part of With the Naked Eye -group exhibition held in Voipaala Art Centre in Summer 2022. The core of the material-based contemporary art exhibition was the encounter between man and nature. In my ceramic mural, I have combined elements and surfaces of man-made architecture and its landscape with nature's free, organic and uncontrolled environment. The work 'View I' is one perspective of what the view created by these elements is like.
The exhibition was organized by two associations, Textile Artist TEXO and Artist O, presenting the best of Finnish textile art, ceramic art and installation art from more than thirty artists. Curated by Anna-Kaisa Haanaho, Jaana Woll, Kaisu Koivisto and Teemu Salonen.
Restaurant Juuri -project

Custom-made plates for awarded Restaurant Juuri, Helsinki. Project executed in a collaboration with ceramicist Heidi Aulikki Puumalainen.
Locality, freshness and authenticity are the cornerstones of Ravintola Juuri's kitchen philosophy and through these principles we set out to design plates suitable for the restaurant . The basic idea behind the plates was to emphasize the feel and visuals of a material and techniques. Each plate is handmade and this is especially evident in the glazing, which is unique in each plate. The plates were also locally produced, as our shared studio at the time was located within walking distance of the restaurant.

Ryijy
-
Handmade ceramic mural
‘Ryijy’ means traditional woven wall rug which is a decorative art form unique to Finland. Geometric shapes were, in addition to floral and human figures, a popular subject in them in the late 19th century. ‘Ryijy’ ceramic mural is especially inspired from the geometrical shapes of the traditional ryijy rugs.
The whole consists of five forms of different shapes that fit in many ways to each other transforming into different works of art. Creations made of it are perfect to enrich both private and public spaces in indoors and outdoors.
