The exhibition consists of a spatially composed sculptural installation. Sculpted from everyday materials, the work relates to experiences of life, ageing, vitality and decay of both the body and material environments.
The works draw from affective memory of the 1990s domestic sphere lingering in the body and culture. They take shape in forms and things that carry an ambivalent spirit of desire, loss and attachment, mixed with warmth and ickyness. Reworked domestic textiles, objects, parts of furniture, and fragments of household appliances perform scenes of micro-drama that express both first-person experience and the layered life and relationships of the materials themselves. (The exhibition can also be seen as a hospice for materials and a cut-out poetics of recession.)
Ageing etc. feelings is dedicated to Ulla Arnold.
The artists work and the production of the exhibition has been supported by Finnish Cultural Foundation / Uusimaa, Taike and Saari residency.
