ooooooo
galleria sculptor, helsinki, finland
2024
Using only hand tools, the wood was carved into repeating round shapes. The resulting ooooooo-shaped sculptures touch on ideas of repetition and quantity: doing the same thing again and again, annual growth rings of a tree, cycles of days and years, chains of events, or generations of trees or people.

galleri box, gothenburg, sweden
myymälä2, helsinki, finland
2022
The exhibition takes up our bodily moving of objects, the technology of carrying and our relationship to the things we carry. The starting point of the works are the objects and practices that connect the body with what is being moved.

time and other resources
galleria sculptor, helsinki, finland
2019
The exhibition forms a workshop installation that seemingly reproduces its parts in a neverending cycle. Making one thing to make another, to make another, to make another… what is gained and lost in the process?

as precisely as necessary

a little bit, every day

2018
with uku sepsivart
"A shared element in the exhibition is our affection towards working by hand. Together we are thinking about making as a process somewhere between wearing out a benchtop and spontaneous accumulation of material."
