Visual artist, born in 1961, living and working in Tuusula, Southern Finland. |
| About the Artist | |
I work with digitally manipulated photographs transferred on found domestic textiles. In my work textiles represent the ideas and values related to shelter, memory, body and identity. The photographs bring in narratives; tell stories about the relations between an individual and the society. |
