Information about the artist / the group

My path as an artist is interestingly winding - from the original textile design to the current, very unique works combining textiles and painting. "In this expression I feel like I've come home, it combines many things that are very important to me."

I use traditional materials in my works, starting with rabbit skin glue. The actual pattern often consists of jute fabric that has already been used once.

With my works, I aim for peace and simplicity with the idea that less is more. My Raku ceramics also complement the message of my paintings.
"I believe that less of everything gives us peace of mind and the opportunity to see completely new things, space to think in a new way."

Program during Konstrundan

I present the manufacturing process of my works: making the base, using rabbit skin glue, dolomite powder and titanium oxide, washing the worn jute fabric, etc.

I will tell you about the idea of raku burning with the help of photos.

Small servering! Old works inexpensively!
