solo show at artist's hometown
at Jakobi gallery in Tartu, Estonia 27.09.–21.10.2022 installation of glass and ceramic hoops hanged from the ceiling, hot sculpted glass, ceramics, cotton rope over 40 separate pieces all together glass hoops were blown in collaboration with gaffer Eili Soon The focus of the exhibition is the artist’s hidden antagonist, a deliberate thwarter who criticises, subverts and judges. This cunning inner speech undermines one’s footing and in the worst case prevents one from dreaming and enjoying life to the fullest. Skillfully set up fine sensitive traps need excellent swimming skills. There is continuous movement through major and minor obstacles, dead ends, repetitions and ambiguity in the hopes of reaching to the other side. The artist would like to thank: Eili Soon, Kaie Vakepea, Andra Jõgis and Rait Lõhmus contributed to the materialisation of the exhibition. A segment of this installation is part of Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design's permanent collection (since 2024). Photos by Maarja Mäemets and Rait Lõhmus |
