HIGH HEEL SHOES 
GALLERIA SASKIA, TAMPERE 
21.11.2019 - 11.12.2019 
 
 
 
In autumn the spring exhibition at Duetto moved on with enlargened and partly new composition to the beautiful three halls of Galleria Saskia in Tampere.  
This is how I described the show: 
In my art I depict things I find essential but infeasible to define in words - something from the moments when one sees the absurdity of life.  
The motifs rise from life.Through cogitation they get an artistic form that feels my own, something beyond words. 
 
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. 
 
To me form and artisanship are as essential as content and feeling.  
All these are present in true art
 
I construct my works slowly in the silence of the studio with my hands, with lived life guiding the process. 
 
In Galleria Saskia a man's head with rose tattoos stretches up from an Arabia plate and an angry man screams from the wall. In spite of all that, women of sorrow, desire, happiness and hiss of anger can keep it up.
