ALL AND NOTHING  GALLERIA DUETTO, HELSINKI  9.1.2019 - 3.2.2019        My art rises from feelings that puzzle or move me. They haunt the mind till one day they surface to conciousness and I can start working them into the visual world.  I work conserving nature with recycled materials, largely with paper mache I have managed to modify into artistic material that suits my ideas.   In addition, I use various abandoned items and plastic junk that is engulfing the world.    I construct my works slowly in the silence of the studio with my hands, with lived life guiding the process.    Thus were born also the women in Galleria Duetto exhibition with their sorrows, desire, happiness and sometimes a hiss of anger.    Wedding walz                          I can never forget you  Midinette                                                Liftoff
