Elämänkaari

The artwork "Elämäkaari" is part of a series in which I explore ancient animal icons and rock paintings found in the Finnish region. I have played with the idea of what these icons may have represented to the people who created them and what kind of relationship they had with nature at the time. The piece has been part of the "Tragic Pony" solo exhibition, shown in Pori, Lahti, and Tampere.

The Tragic Ponies series explores my complex relationship with the keeping of animals, a tragic My Little Pony theft from my childhood, and the mysterious animal icons found around the world.
