Hatara Project. Time Perception VOL.2

Artist list

Christine Jalio, Helmi Lindblom, Melina Lindroos, Annea Lounatvuori, Wiebke Pandikow, Ginta Zabarovska

Christine Jalio’s ‘Loss’ collection is a continuum of her earlier ‘Past, Loss, Future’ collection which tells the story of aging and loneliness. In this collection she has especially been concentrating on personal loss, sadness, and the feeling of sulek-burcu-emptiness-2015: on what an individual goes through emotionally when losing someone beloved. She is still using Silk Clay as her main material, but has also been experimenting with other materials in this project.
 
Helmi Lindblom is fascinated by the beauty of oddity. Her series 'Come' is made to awaken the child within us, to recreate the feeling of childlike curiosity and excitement. It is inspired by a plant that consists of two cacti crafted together by man and includes brooches and necklaces that invite you to come and step closer, maybe even touch.
 
In her current project ‘Hiding places’ Melina Lindroos looks into the feeling of safety and examines what it represents to her. The tender series of brooches invites the viewer to peek inside and hold them. They are made through a slow meditative process in a comforting space.
 
Annea Lounatvuori’s pieces are an extension of her work from last year. In Time Perception Vol.II she delves deeper into her passion of working with horse hair. Textures and surfaces determine her approach to the visual composition.
 
Wiebke Pandikow’s jewellery is made from plastic bags: what was living organisms thousands of years ago, became oil, then became plastic, now it returns to forms that resemble living plants once more.
 
Ginta Zabarovska is a jeweler originally from Latvia currently based in Strasbourg. The more time she spends in Strasbourg, the more the feelings and affiliations of place become an inspiration for her work. Working in a combination of all kinds of materials, Ginta’s theme for this exhibition is home

Opening: 24 February 19:00 - 22:00h
