Umami

Umami on tanssia ja maalausta yhdistävä performanssi. 

 Siinä tutkitaan musiikin, tanssin ja värin yhteyttä ja aistien vuorovaikutteisuutta. 

Se on myös vuoropuhelua tanssijan ja maalarin - tyttären ja äidin välillä. 

 musiikki Roope Niemelä.

water 

is the theme of this week´s DC. Our host is Patrice, see her fabulous blog Patrice A. for more.

These images tell about early spring and melting ice on a lake and tiny river in a small town of  Kankaanpää where I study at the moment.

- The turquoise one in the middle is about wet linen fiber on a balloon:)

 My love and connection with nature can be seen in my art work. 

The fragility of the balance in nature and worry and anxiety about the condition of the water system on earth should be seen in my works more clearly.

Thank you, Patrice, for the important and wonderful theme.

Kivi, paperi, sakset

Olen leikannut lakanoita ja pellavia ja tehnyt niistä paperia. 

Olen laittanut käteni saveen. Poltossa savesta haihtuu kaikki vesi ja siitä tulee kivitavaraa..

 ...

 I have made paper of cotton and linen. 

I also have been moulding clay - oh, how I love the touch of it!

The first and last images are seen through unpainted and painted papersheets. 

We still have had mostly misty and cold winter days as can be seen in the image in the middle.

In waiting for brightness I have been watching Bright shadow by two wonderful artists.

Maa

Earth 2, watercolor on paper, 29 x 42cm, LV 2014

  Connection to earth ( maa in Finnish ) is important to me. 
Unevitably that can be seen in my works, too. 

And there is a clear connection between my photos and paintings. 

For me the dearest place on earth is - as you  may already know - our summer place in Rauma archipelago. 
And, yes, there is a connection between that place and all these images:)

I can´t wait  to get there , there , there again..
We got some snow: it is not spring yet, so I´ll have to wait some more time:(
 

Color Dolor, Ones in the Woods

This week´s drawing challenge is about Connections.
