“In the exhibition, my abstract sculptures have moved from the surface to the wall. A large part of the works in the exhibition have been fired in an anagama kiln and show the collaboration of flame and ash. The surprise of firing fascinates, as it is almost impossible to predict the final result of the firing in advance. In contrast, the light sculptures engage in dialogue with the dark works. The direction of the sculptures is not locked into one position, but can be positioned freely, and this one’s experience of the piece may vary.”
Henna Nuutinen (b. 1990) is an artist & designer working in Lahti, Finland. She is currently working on large ceramic sculptures dealing with themes of fragility and cohesion, reflecting on Nuutinen’s own relationship with nature. She is inspired by organic forms, structures, and colours of nature. Henna’s sculptures are often the result of intuitive construction, where the material guides the end result. The forms are organic and abstract, and are characterised by repetitive branches that eventually converge.
