I seem to have come too far. The paths weren‚t this blocked. From now on, it's a hunt without rules or a destination. I'm easy to track down because I leave tracks. In this forest, the paths have been paved. I am lost in this forest.
My pictures are in pieces and layers, and yet they are whole. The method I use to work on my woodcuts is one in which the plates are destroyed. I break and I carve smooth surfaces on the tracks. I leave the tracks I want to leave. Impatience, striving and sometimes boredom take their toll on my plates. I would like to be fast, but I enjoy carving slowly. As I work further, my plates disappear, and of them, finished works remain as
keepsakes. I have carved everything off; I have to resign and leave something incomplete. There is nothing from which to carry on. Although the plates eventually disappear, I am ready to break more of them. I will carve again and fill the papers with paint.

AURINKOTUULI
27.6. – 8.7.2007
Pictures
Aurinkotuuli (solar wind) is a painting exhibition from a place deeper and timeless, where the Aurinkotuuli forever blows.
For me, the essential dwellings of the Aurinkotuuli are Raisa Kaipainens courses of Inner Dance, and Villa Taika, the combined home and course center of Raisa Kaipainen and Torsten Ruger. The Aurinkotuuli, blowing into my life at Raisas dance class, is what all my paintings are created
from.The Aurinkotuuli, the deepest and most real flow of life, takes away the unneccessary.The Aurinkotuuli is here.
In the exhibition, there are colourful oils that have slowly, layer by layer, been painted on fabric, as well as Aurinkokehrä, a watercolour and collage series done on paper. The starting impulse of my practise is a movement of inner life, and every painting has a story of its own.
Welcome.
