Nelli, this will not be easy (my English is terrible) but I am very very excited! and I think we have many things in common despite the great distances. So… I’m here. If we must walk, walk together!

Born in Helsinki 1976. Living in Imatra for 3 months in a small countryside village In between living in Lappeenranta, Glasgow, Amsterdam New surroundings First Language sounds like music Creating silence Like a big hole in your stockings Arriving changes into living Into feeling like home What do you need to feel home in between many homes syntynyt Helsingissä 1976 asunut 3 kuukautta pienessä maalaiskylässä Imatralla asunut Lappeenrannassa, Glasgowssa, Amsterdamissa uudet elinympäristöt aluksi kieli kuulostaa musiikilta sitten se luo hiljaisuutta kuin reikä sukkahousuissa saapuminen muuttuu asumiseksi tuntuu kodilta mikä tekee olon kotoisaksi monien kotien välissä I am of slow. the real concerns I get quite grown-up.
without completing my studies in fashion design, travel to Barcelona -Massana- for dipping into the world of jewelry for 3 years.
and never again be location-specific. forever here and there. body, mind, emotion.
always I miss one of the worlds. this makes it always connected.
for this reason I try to do projects that have a little here or there or are between here and there.
to prune the distances shrink, vanish from time to time.
just curious thing is that my great desire is to go to finland! And here you are in front of me!!!
open doors. to share culture. to communicate-community. natural.
Limits. Doors that open and close. Fluids flowing and not. Communication with the outside from within.
Sorry for my silence. Busy with exhibition in Amsterdam, if you want to have a look www.galerierobkoudijs.nl
But you were on my mind while walking the streets of Amsterdam. Familiar surrounding and still not. Crowded streets. Looking for empty spaces. Observations of structures, shapes and dark wood. Looking at characters of things and materials. Camouflage cats in the shop window. Something to bring with me to Finland. Things I miss when I’m not in Amsterdam. Here in Finland where distances can be long and empty space is everywhere The images are now on my working table. Beginning?
What do you see in the photos Francisca?
first. congratulation because your exhibition! i’d like the text where tel something like… footprints being left layer upon layer as snow. my memory is very chaotic and each layer seems to be covering the previous! i would like to think i can go up layers to remember what was and makes what is today, be/is. like i’d tell you (the comment in your pictures), buenos aires is very crowded, we don’t have a lot empety spaces. this is one of the reasons because i immerse myself in my own, looking for a quiet space.
house/body, now i am looking in, and both are the same. light comes from within the body?
I need your words… “A moment of silence. A blank space our mind can fill in with thought. Breath life, city, faith, laughter, death, pleasure, cement, color, skepticism, Respira (breath). Installation/necklace. Chinstraps embroidery white on white, electrical installation with automatic dimmer (light turns on and off softly, slowly and steadily). 2009.
working is collecting combining drawing everything on one big table always intrigued what is white
travelling by walking or cycling or by bus to forest to the town of Imatra taking photos from things that have something “white” mushrooms or snow stripes on the asphalt smoke from the paper factory pipe letters saying central station
My dear, the deer White-tailed deer was given to Finnish forests in 1935 from Minnesota It became ours Our deer Tamed She is at the backyard of a house and needs amulet-kind-of-objects to her horns to make a crown. Audience is sewing the objects. There are textiles from Finnish national dresses. Thinking of identity
work and text by Anna Rikkinen & Nelli Tanner Tamed 2008 textiles, found objects, wood, thread, needles 300 x 150 cm x 4 cm the deer needed the warm of the finnish people to take colour-identity… what do you need when you are out of home? i’m like your deer. shell effect. i like this translation…spot: lugar, mancha, gota. (place, stain, drop)
a new map for us? starting from stains marking the grey area conquering the space |
