The
Name of Artwork: «If we had the power to do anything
on earth
»
During
the Middle Ages and up to about the mid-18 century,
women as witches were universally associated with evil,
under the belief that the witchs magical powers were
granted by Satan in exchange for the witchs soul.
It
was extremely dangerous to be accused of being a witch,
since a common punishment was to be burnt at the stake.
The
hunts were most severe from 1580 to 1630, and the last known
execution for witchcraft was in 1782. About 110,000 persons
were tried for witchcraft, and no more than 40,000 to 60,000
executed.

Artists
Statement.
I am a Finnish visual artist. I live in
Niva, a small village outside Joensuu city in eastern Finland,
near the border of Russia.
I make performances, installations, videotapes, paintings,
prints, drawings and photographs. I also work with used
and discarded materials and natural materials. Working with
nature fascinates me. My environmental works are momentary
in nature; they act as transient signifiers of the space
and time with which they exist. In my work I combine the
aesthetics of old objects and their previous histories with
psychoanalytical interpretation of human life.
