days like air, im passing through them, or are they passing through me?

(swan flying in kiasma)
i hold your secret
you hold my secret

they fly while no one is looking

Method for fruitful collaboration

I pick the berries and You make the jam

You pick the berries and I make the jam

air thought:
fire loves me

(hundreds of decorated matchboxes)

it is hard to die

when birds are singing in the sky

huhuu and echo replies

how art can teach to reach to the inner (self knowledge)
Self as a reflective surface in art making - viewing

(through humane to divine)

nor here nor there

how unknown can be guiding force
importance of the open space for growth
asking questions rather than looking for answers
negative philosophy and zen buddhism
enigma of nothing, that what is in the end.
also: other cultures newness and 'foreign' -
offers a fresh angle for the observation.
Oneself in the middle of all. no history.

hunger of the wolf and little bites

different methods to face the art (she has the face of the thousand nights)
different staring points for making, viewing and digesting
what do we want and expect from art?
what do we want and expect from life?

PURSE UP MOUTH

What if one does not want to say anything with art?

It does not mean that there is nothing to say -

it is a question of different way of communicating

and looking at things.

Art can operate as a platform for the understanding of all.

It is a question of the process, not about the message -

art can represent the journey and the steps taken

but never show you the arrival.

something made + something taken in = something new again

Three ducks flying in the sky
One of them has a halo

There is a forest

where trees have ears

trees listen to the world

and its sorrow

all heavy and dark - trees filter

and they become leafs

offering shade for a tired wonderer

Ovi avautuu kumpaankin suuntaan:

Mikä tahansa paikka, aika, tilanne ja asia
sisältää juuri tarvitsemamme avaimen
oppimiseen ja ymmärtämiseen.

meidän on vain ymmärrettävä avata ovi .

Door opens both ways:

Any place, time, situation or thing
contains the right key
to learning and understanding - to what we need.

we just need to understand to open the door .

it begins and ends like this
