I have built some butterfly wings out of wasp nests, paper and cardboard some years ago.<\/span><\/span> They have a harness so you can put them on. Unfortunately the butterfly wings cannot be put on<\/span><\/span> at Espoo Artotheque, because them tend to be quite fragile.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

In myths, the butterfly’s metamorphosis is a metaphor for the possibility of change.<\/span><\/span> On the other hand, the butterfly is often associated with fragility, lightness and living in the moment.<\/span><\/span> In June, photographs and installations related to the butterfly theme will also be displayed in Galleria K which is run by Vantaa Artists’ Association in Tikkurila.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

In recent years, visual artist Aulis Harmaala’s works have been oil paintings, photographs and installations.<\/span><\/span> The themes of the exhibitions often include experiences related to personal life and societal issues<\/span><\/span>. Aulis Harmaala was born in 1966 and currently lives in Espoo. He graduated from Aalto University in 2011 with a master\u2019s degree in art.
