Riikka Mäkikoskela: Hurma/Ecstacy, 2006-2009

Granulated sugar
35 x 300 x 250 cm


I make this piece all over again into every exhibition space of loose, granulated sugar. First I shape about an oval sugar heap, then I do a snow angel on it by my own body. The snow angel is upside down, because I want to emphasize my feminity and also to get the feeling of material being all over me. In my opinion, the dual meaning of sugar is very interesting. For example, it presents the good and the bad, it's not healthy but very tempting. The same kind of dualisms can be found in sex and religions.
