Artist’s Statement
I make pictures with living matter. My laboratory is in our kitchen, exposure happens in my studio and the research area is outdoors. With six years of experience in making of yeast images I can say that I am a professional yeast image maker.
I have a Master of Arts degree from Aalto University. Within my degree I did minor studies (26op) in biological arts, with a guidance from a wide variety of artists.
My work has been exhibited in Dublin, Oulu, Corvallis, Helsinki, Kotka, Dortmund, Tokyo and Paris. During my life I have worked in very different work tasks, for example, as a baker, layout designer and metal worker.
