Galleria Sculptor, Helsinki, 2024
The exhibition includes sculptural works and stop motion animation. Several of the works in the exhibition are made from different seeds. For example, the spatial work Beam moves with a small volume of material through almost the whole gallery space. The English word "beam" represents both something seemingly intangible and a physical support that enables and supports an entire structure.
The Sediment series explores artistic work as an ecosystem. What is often a mental process in artistic work – where new works are based on the experiences of previous works – is also something concrete in the Sediment series: parts of older works are included in new works.
In music, the term "variation" refers to the transformation of existing material into a new entity, while in biology it can refer to differences between individuals of a species. The title of the exhibition, Variations, can be seen as a reference to a matter and its variations which are essentially one.
The exhibition has been supported by the Arts Promotion Center Finland and Konstsamfundet. Artist’s work is supported by the Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland and the Arts Promotion Center Finland.
