FROM HAY, STICKS AND BRICKS
Artwork from Koti/Home exhibition at Kouvola Art Museum (2005)
Mixed media: Hand-printed photo on plexiglass
From hay, sticks and bricks – the artwork is constructed of photos of a child printed on plexiglas as three sculptural pieces, also sharing qualities of a painting. The installation explores the concept of home as a place where the bringing up of the child takes place and its meaning as a mental space.
Bunches of hay and sticks and a brick make an allusion to the old fairy tail, and on the other hand to the foundations of a home; the stronger materials that are used to build up a home, the more solidly built is child’s future life.
