(KOLME SULOTARTA) THREE SWEETHEARTS – KARI KUISMA

I have used traditional leaded glass techniques in my works, supplemented by mixed media, which has enabled the works to stand partly in their own groups. There is also one video work and wall works. In my works I have loosely explored the theme of the three sweethearts of ancient mythology, also bringing in Leda. Life and death, and what happens before and after, have been the focus of my interest. The figure of the woman as a vehicle for my interpretation relates to the eternal mystery that she represents to man. Light and darkness as opposites are an integral part of my work. The technique of leaded glass is often thought of as being associated only with traditional craft, so I try to give a different view of the use of this technique as a medium for my own expression.
