Artist Statement
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I am an artist, to whom nature and ecology are part of everyday life. When I start a new artistic project, my thoughts often go to Lapland \u2013 my second home. My inspiration is in the vast wilderness of Lapland, small and bigger wanderers, the magnificent midnight sun and the silence that you can feel in your whole body.<\/p>\n

I mainly use clay and glass in my works. When I am creating an art work, in addition to these materials, I use other materials suitable for the ongoing theme like tree roots and reindeer skin. Whenever possible, I use local raw materials and various recycled materials like glass. In art, I also try to awake the viewers to the vulnerability of nature. I want to tell a story that matters.<\/p>\n
