For my collaboration with GaoShan gallery I am ret

For my collaboration with GaoShan gallery I am returning to a technique I started out with about 8 years ago - shaping old plastic bags with the help of a flat iron and a soldering iron into shapes and structures reminiscent of plant leaves. Before I worked exclusively with thin, translucent plastic bags resulting in white, ethereal pieces which I am probably most known for generally (if you know me at all 😉 :P)
Now I'm trying to incorporate colored plastic bags and different pigments as well. I started out a little bit with this last year, this year I will actually focus on it. Let's hope something good comes out of it!

New year, new collaborations!

As mentioned on facebook reaaally shortly before, since the end of last year I am officially undersigned with gallery GAo ShAn in Helsinki! @gaoshanhelsinki

We've worked together before on a few occasions, for group exhibitions and also in one solo exhibition in 2019, but this is the first time for me to be officially undersigned with a gallery. I am very excited to see what will come out of it! To a fruitful and enjoyable collaboration! 🥂

The other piece I made on Öland in August is this

The other piece I made on Öland in August is this. Well, it's a stop motion animation, so I took the pictures on Öland but then did the animating back home. It's the first time I've made an animation so it's definitely a bit rough around the edges, but it was super interesting to do it. To see it slowly come together a little bit more every time you hit play... hopefully I'll find some ways to do some more of this kind of thing in the future... In any case, here it is:

Invasion Necklace
stop motion animation, 2021
27 seconds

“Non-indigenous species are species that have spread or been transferred as a result of human activities, reaching environments in which they previously did not naturally occur. To date, around 140 non-indigenous species or new species with unknown origin have been recorded in the Baltic Sea.[...] Of these, twelve were new introductions for the Baltic Sea in the period 2011–2016.[...] Non-indigenous species pose a threat to the marine environment as they may induce changes in the structure and dynamics of the ecosystem.”

It's already 3 months since we organized @projectl

It's already 3 months since we organized @projectlandjewelry on Öland in Sweden together with my colleague Maja Breife. Maybe it's time to show what I created in that busy and wonderful week.

This one is "Gyres and Waves", a sculpture from woven and knotted living reed, about 1,5m tall at the highest point. To test out the technique in preparation for it I first made a smaller spiral, filled with trash I found on the shore (second picture). Fifth pic for some idea of the size, last pic me at work. 🙂

~~~

Most people know by now about the garbage patches in our oceans, gyres of marine debris created by ocean currents. While the Baltic Sea doesn’t have the same kind of currents to create its own garbage vortex, it certainly contains enough trash to fill one.

This is a sea that connects us, currents that carry us and ours, carry what we discard right back to us.
We cannot dump our problems in the sea, because we are connected to it, dependent on it. The currents will come back to haunt us.

Another thing I've been working on last month:

Project Land Jewelry has now opened its second exhibition (the first was in Himmelsberga on Öland) at Merikeskus Vellamo in Kotka! @merikeskusvellamo

It's free to visit but is a bit hidden in the exhibition space 'Ruuma'. Go through the first door to the maritime centre and then immediately to the right there is a single door to the exhibition space (of course the other exhibitions in the centre are always worth a visit in any case!)

The exhibition shows photos and a video of the pieces done in August on Öland, as well as some jewelry (since the point was that all participating artists have a background in jewelry but we decided to challenge ourselves with land art :D)

The exhibit is open until 26.11. but you can, over time, also see all the pieces on our Insta-account @projectlandjewelry
