Outi Martikainen is a classically trained textile artist. Her works are influenced by craftworks and the practice of observation, which is so central to art. A distinctive feature of her work is the recording of small perceptions and memories in a concrete form, whether that’s individual works composed of minor details or larger installations made up of big panels. Martikainen often finds her materials in everyday life and gives them a new purpose.
“Depending on the (carpet) weaver, there will be some unevenness in the edges, or even in the patterns there might a mistake. But they are left there, because human beings are not perfect. And that can be accepted. When I make my own work, I like that too, not to mind the borders. I want it to be visible that I have made each one of them. There the string pulled a little tight – oops, doesn’t matter. And there it went a bit loose – alright, that doesn’t matter either. That does not effect the image. If someone is looking at the edges, they are looking at the wrong piece.”
