Between Heaven and Earth, textile installation with helium balloons, stones, devore print on synthetic material, an ultrasound image of a baby on printed cotton. Myyrmäkitalo, Vantaa Art Museum, Vantaa, 2000.

Printed wooden trays and painted fabric, Gallery Tyko, Nurmes. 2011.
Various patterns move around in my mind incessantly. In these hand-printed trays, the imaginary reproduction of the printed patterns turned into reality. In contrast to my usual methodical approach, this large ball work was born from being present in the moment, and made by squeezing out the colour on cloth.

The artwork Together is the puzzle of life, where dark patches are unavoidable, but where the light, colourful patches finally prevail. The blanket combines both elements into an organic whole, with a softening effect on the echoing space.
