Focus of my work is in history; from private to general history. What do we remember; how do we read history? In my works, I want to mix the timelines, break the causality and create an imaginary space. Transparent, three-dimensional, layered works overlap different time levels. The works are a fragmented story; also my thirty-year-old road as an artist.
The landscape is wide open around me, it has the space and light of the northern landscape. Often, the premise is far away from the place and moment of memory or remembering, but it draws me to the familiar place.
The name and starting point of my works are in Rome; I was in 1991 in Circolo Scandinavo and 2017 in Villa Lante. After the first residency period, a series of works were created as "Livia's House", which were based on floor mathematicians of the Roman villa and my own childhood landscape in Ylitornio, in the Tornionjoki valley. After Villa Lante residency period I have returned to the subject; Livia's house has changed, priorities have changed places. Layered mosaic spaces have changed and rebuilt. But still there is a familiar ground in starting points -the landscape of the Gianicolo hill reflects the dazzling landscape of my childhood.
