31.8.–18.9. ANO KURKI: Still life, Documentations of place
“What is Place? In everyday aesthetics Place can stand for a meaningful space formed within familiarity, ritual and repetition. It is construed by ordinary and seemingly trivial happenings within a space of certain importance. Place is tied with emotional intent by a replay of mundane, familiarand unfamiliar acts, thoughts and associations. Place is also where I stand. A red dot. My location in life, community and family. It is where I am with myself. Place is home. Home is Place. Heart, body and soul. Memories, mapping. Connections.
The still life studies are a progression of aesthetic studies contemplating on choice, sanctity and contingency of everyday life. Working with ink I draw from perception of light, form and composition. Ink pleases me as a material in its simplicity and plainness. Monochromatic and repetitive pictures give me a sence of safety and ease. Returning to my practice is a form of prayer or meditation; I observe, document, reflect, learn, repeat. Artistic practice is also part of my activist process. It helps me reflect on my actions, impact and intentions. I work in on washi paper as well as hand dyed recycled cotton found from my home, dyed with domestic materials. The still life studies represent my every day life and identity as a queer non-binary artist and activist.”
