JOKU ON TÄÄLLÄ / ANYONE IS HERE
"JOKU ON TÄÄLLÄ" on näyttely- ja kirjaprojekti Joku Jonkunpoikasen seikkailuista.
JOKU ON TÄÄLLÄ
Pieni olento nimeltään Joku Jonkunpoikanen ilmaantui työhöni nimeltä Pieniä asioita vuonna 2019. Hän on hamsterin, apinan ja koiran välimuoto ja asuu kaikissa ihmisissä syvällä sisimmässämme. Hän ihmettelee asioita, elää hetkessä ja unelmoi lentämisestä, sillä hän menetti syntyessään siipensä.

ANYONE IS HERE
A book and exhibition project of the little creature called Anyone who was born in 2019 in my painting called Little Things. She is ageless and lives at the very center of all the people. She is a mixture of hamster-monkey-dog and she wonders about things, lives very much in the present but also dreams of flying as she had wings at birth, but lost them.

EXTRAS will open an additional photo album about making-of the paintings.

I needed a large painting of a face for my exhibition and started on it. A little creature appeared from somewhere on the shoulder.
But right away the face area went all wrong. I decided to cover it.
Then the sun started to play on the surface of the drawing creating a big beautiful wing. I was sorry to see it go as the earth turned.
Because art never overcomes nature, I had to leave it alone for a while. Then I picked up my courage and drew some wings on the little creature like the light had done.
I had no more ideas. All the other work was just waiting to be hung in the exhibition. Then I climbed up to my work space and finished the picture with little things floating around the white covered face.
At that moment a thought came to my head that it reminded me of my friend Outi who had just turned 82. I realized I had carried her in my thoughts all through the process.
Little things is dedicated to my friend Outi who was living in her own world of Alzheimer’s for too many years.
