Place-based art I


I think there is at least three ways to work in a residency.

A way is to continuing the project that already exist. The work that artist is doing at home country. Residency just gives a chance to concentrate on it better in peace.

Second way is to observe and study in the place and then residence influence the future works. It is like collecting ideas and materials for upcoming works.

One way is to make place based art. This is something I have in mind. When we first time spoke about it with Nicola, I said that I might continue with my carnival theme, which I was doing during last year. But I think not. It could be the carnival, if I will see something like that in Salford.

One example of place-based art that I have made is the works I did in autumn 2009 on one lighthouse island called “Kylmäpihlajan majakka". These works I did in course of my school and they have not been exposed anywhere. Though I find them still  quite great. I think my idea was to catch the spirit or the nature of the island.




Lichen of the great rock was unique.

Drawing lines with rowan berries. There was endless wind on the island middle of the sea. Red lines supposed to show the direction of the wind.




 
Brown alga and the mermaid



And finally the lighthouse itself and my copy.


And the shadow that looks greater than the lighthouse I built.

I have got also some ideas of the place based projects we could do with boys.
 Let's see if they will  like it or not.
