I am photography and film artist finishing my doctoral dissertation about the image of landscape between still and moving image for Department of Film, Aalto University. I gave my first solo exhibition in 1999 and since then I have been active artist, exhibitioning my works regularly in dozens of solo and group exhibitions. My first mentor in the art of gelatin silver print was photographic artist Pentti Sammallahti. I specialise in fine art gelatin silver print technique but during the past ten years I have worked also with moving image and painting, combining those with analogue photography. My short film Chalk Circles (2015) has been screened at film festivals apart from Helsinki in Prague and Riga. The poetic film is about catastrophic effects of climate change on the South Pacific atoll islands. The artistic part of my dissertation Cliff (coming 2022) is a poetic short film about the effects of the climate change from the point of view of a refugee. The film consists of still film photographs, with some added animation. My favourite themes are landscape, time and water, and I am interested in the questions concerning exotism, colonialism and feminism in the context of landscape, which has been in the focus of my artistic and research work for long.
