Information about the artist / the group

I’m a photographer with an MA in fine art from Royal College of Art in London. I'm the chair of the colour darkroom cooperative Värinä. Recurring themes in my art are memories, family relations and the everyday. I work with several analogue techniques, most often with colour photography, but also with instant photography, cyanotypes and B&W photography, among other techniques.
I work in Värinä, the only colour darkroom in Finland where artists can print their own work. For almost 25 years Värinä has functioned as a workspace and meeting place for some of the most prominent photographic artist in Finland. During the Konstrundan weekend, you can also meet other artists working in Värinä.

Program during Konstrundan

Come and acquaint yourself with the only colour darkroom in Finland and see how a colour photo is made. You can also visit Värinäs digital workspace.
I will show c-type prints printed in Värinä. You can also meet other members of our cooperative and buy art and photo books by our members.
If you are interested in working in Värinä, I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. Värinä’s facilities can be used both by members and non-members.
