Toukat (Maggots)

Toukat is a group of five ceramic figures that present maggots. The work arise from the idea of fear. We may not easily accept things we are afraid of, and the fear can grow into a social phenomena and common norm. Sometimes the fear keeps us from development and happiness.

The installation which consists of five ceramic maggot sculptures were exhibited in the group exhibition in Tornide väljak Park, Tallinn during the summer 2015. It was a collaborative project by  Hamk University of Applied Sciences and EKA Eesti Kunstiakadeemia ceramic art students.

Kana (The Hen)

When I was a kid, I had our hens as my friends. Together we hunted worms and maggots in our garden. I used to have then hen named Friday in my arms. I formed the sculpture by using the old photos as a model and I utilized the muscle memory to find the right size and shape for the sculpture. The cage is a reference for how limited living space the hens have in the battery cages in the egg production.

Stones

I grew up in a house in the middle of the forest. I went to school there for ten years, and I spent a few minutes each morning in a same spot of the road shoulder, waiting for a school cab. The stone saw me growing up. 

I work with stones in places that are my mental landscape. Stones is a sculpture series, which is inspired by the stones in the places of my memories.
