Tuulensuoja / Shelter from the Wind

2011-2018

I created  ”Shelter from the wind”- installation almost ten years ago. It was created based on a childhood memory of a ”secret shelter”, which also plays a part of a wider, universal story that touches everyone. Every child builds their own ”secret shelter” using freestyle technique and with raw materials  they’ve found. The ”shelter from the wind” – installation represent a play, which can also been seen as an ally for creative art. It has always been very important for me to cultivate a playful insight through my art work.

In the ”Shelter from the wind”, I’ll take a deep peek at my childhood memories and the meanings involved. Phenomenology may explain complimentary concept to this experience. The gaps in the ”Shelter from the wind” – installation also opens a view into the future. In many ways, I think the art work symbolises the idea of ”a materialized human being” by Utriainen. The art piece hides layers and emotions, that a person may have storage in his or her bodily memory. The ”Shelter from the wind” is a collection of paint and fabric layers, which has been first torn apart and then freely pared and woven back together. It beautifully describes the layers and roots we are forced to carry within us, whether we would like it or not. The same great story will be continued in my oil textile collage ”Aomame”, which is a tribute to Haruki Murakami’s novel 1Q84. Murakami has helped me to go deeper in my own self discovery, on the expedition into wider understanding.
