Moi. I’m a Finnish multidisciplinary artist based in Turku, Finland.

I work with animation, installation, (textile) sculpture, text, and drawing. I create pieces and spaces that invite the audience to slow down and pause for a moment, to look closer and wonder what is in front of us. I’m especially interested in shared experiences that hover between general and personal; the emotions and affects that are experienced privately but spring from the culture and society around us.

Repetition, serialization and continuity are characteristic of my work, and over the years my practice has had several thematic periods: I have worked on themes such as competition, performance-based society, disappointment, failure, identity, and Anthropocene.

Currently, I am circling around absence. I am fascinated by the ambivalence of it, its elusive nature and essence, which requires presence to exist. Absence is not nothing. It is something that is not where it should be.

Absence keeps one curious in the numerous ways one can approach it. With the traces it leaves behind and the interpretation they need. With its contradictions. For the last year I have concentrated on the materiality of absence. And next, I am going to find out how it is tied to the working class experience.
