And one more of the three videos I made in 2018 about different Finnish jewelry artists on behalf of the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike)!
Again, thank you @taikegram and regional artist Heli Kauhanen, @helikauhanen for the possibility!

This Video about Inni Pärnänen @inniparnanen can be found on youtube under the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whsFB9HsuBw or by searching Inni Pärnänen on the "Taiteen edistämiskeskus" -channel. Unfortunately there's only the Finnish subtitle, I swear I made an English one as well...

It was wonderful to film and interview these three very different jewelry artists in their workshops: hands that touch and manipulate a material; eyes that follow shapes and already see, what that material will become; voices that talk about thoughts, meanings, feelings. Hopefully these videos also bring joy to the viewers!

In 2018 I got the possibility to make 3 videos about different Finnish jewelry artists on behalf of the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike).
When it comes to filming and editing I'm self taught and the result might be a bit rough around the edges, but still I am proud of these and happy they have finally found their place on the official channels. I'm also thankful to regional artist Heli Kauhanen @helikauhanen for chosing me for this project!

Some snippets of working on a bigger piece mention

Some snippets of working on a bigger piece mentioned shortly in my last post. This is very much work in progress and very far from finished. The piece doesn't really "flow" yet and it's hard to see the individual shirts which will be one of the biggest problems to deal with when finally photographing this at some point. But I think I'm successfully starting to create the feeling of being drowned or overwhelmed which is very much what the immense problems of fast fashion make me feel like when reading about them.

recycled plasticbags, pigment, pieces of plastic waste found in the nature reserve of Valle del Treja, Italy

For the longest time during the residency I had trouble to think of any actual piece to make. Valle del Treja is so beautiful that I felt I could never make anything to do that justice (I generally feel like that about nature but it was even more prominent there because it is so different from the nature I'm used to)
Something that made me very angry at first and emotional generally was the waste that was dumped in many places in that paradise and so I ended up with a concept to comment on that. This will become an installation eventually, but it still needs some work.
