ART CENTER AHJO, KYTÖ/LIEKKI -SPACE: JONNA SALONEN

I have carved and built works that are based on my own life-long relationship with nature and concern about the fading away of nature. By sculpting, I try to aim for the existence of nature and through it the understanding of humanity, as well as to express the importance of nature in our humanity. My works have had an ecological starting point and basis of thinking since the early days of carving. Simple handmade tools and natural materials interest me in building sculptures. The works in the exhibition were made e.g. wood, raku ceramics and sheep's wool.
