The theme of my sculptures and wall pieces is often connected with houses as a metaphor of a human being. Ruins, chambers, rooms, doorways, silent walls, corners and chairs are some of the symbols and indicators I am using to express my ideas. I am working with the very basic geometric sculptural forms by cutting off from a solid lump of clay. In my wall pieces I am dividing the surface into smaller areas and units. That method enables me to build large surfaces. The clay fits together in rhythm like a puzzle.
Another important theme is a landscape. It reflects a certain state of mind. In 2005 I made the first sculptures from the series `Talking Landscape`. Here in China the impressive, open sceneries made me continue with these images in porcelain. I am working with shades of black, white or stone which interact with light.
Works in tiles and brick are an integral part of my output. In 2004 I finished an ensemble of brick and tile works for the residential area of Arabianranta in Helsinki. In these bricks I combine text from everyday dialogue with the artwork in a conceptual way.
我的雕塑和墙拼作品的主题经常与人类隐喻的住宅休戚相关。废墟、厢房、房间、门口、寂静的墙壁、角落和椅子是我用来表达观点的符号和信物。我是通过切裂实心用很基本的几何雕塑模型来进行创作。在我的墙拼块作品中，我把作品表面分成小的区域和单位。这种方法能让我作成巨大的作品表面。把陶泥有韵律地组合在一起就像一个字谜。
另一个重要主题就是风景。它反映了人的某种思想状态。在2005年，我做了第一个系列雕塑作品“谈论风景”。在中国这里，给人深刻印象的户外风景使我继续进行陶瓷作品的创作。我继续着黑色阴影，白色阴影或与光相辉映的石头阴影的创作。
砖瓦作品是我作品中的整体部分。2004年，在赫尔辛基的阿拉百浪大住宅区我完成了砖瓦作品的整体效果展示。用这些砖我把每天的对话内容与艺术作品以观念方式组合在一起。 |
