Tiina Laasonen: Yhteen liimattu | Glued Together
I have turned wood into a single piece, Glued together. The work combines different wood e.g. a garden tree from friends, a tree from my home yard, and surplus material from other works. Each wood has its own story – where it comes from, why it was cut, and who gave it to me. In the work, I use for example birch from Virpi´s birch alley from Ilmajoki, Liisa and Timppa´s hackberry and rowen from Seinäjoki, Macke´s storm-fell oak tree from Vaasa, my mother´s apple tree from Kauhava, Pauliina´s grandparents´ old juniper from Seinäjoki, as well as a nesting tree that Suoku kept in a woolshed, and which was only available for use after this summer´s nesting had ended. In addition, the work features birch, aspen, and alder that grow in my own yard. The spectrum of life is visible in the artwork as the histories of different families are combined in it into a pearl of memory.
