(VALLATON) NAUGHTY – RAIJA KUISMA

Media release

Lately I have been reflecting on the relationship between power and powerlessness in human interaction. Some of my works are related to this theme. I have tried to explore the idea that when two people meet, power is also present. Some of the works are mixed media reliefs that focus on the power of nature as an everyday companion. Some are sculptural works, by the definition that a sculpture is what you come across when you try to look at a piece of wall art. In them, I try to explore the power of knowledge, sexuality and death, for example, as part of human life. They are made of scrap metal and iron wire, among other materials. Some of the works are deathly serious and others are a little more humorous. The word is also often present.
