”BLACK MAGIC”<br />
The work ”Black Magic” (temporary title) deals in a playful way<br />
with aspects in the landscape that hold dark perceptions to them<br />
and a supernatural feel. The imaginative aspect of culture that we<br />
all draw from is what allows for the mystery to exist in the work. It<br />
is what I am attempting to disassemble and reassemble in various<br />
ways.<br />
I have been manipulating ready-made hand drawn maps found<br />
online, some of which are old Finnish maps from the 1700-1800<br />
Century and some are imaginary, taken from a fictional book<br />
series. The maps are processed in a way that no text is visible and<br />
mirrored into a rorschach style image.<br />
Beside the maps are original film photographs, taken in the<br />
surrounding landscape. Some of which are also manipulated in<br />
various ways, creating a tension between the two dimensions of<br />
the photographs and the sculptural quality of the maps.
