a large work of her's, Kohti aurinkoa, kohti kuuta, is installed over the cafeteria at my former elementary school. I remember very vividly looking up to it whenever I would feel bad - there was a sense of hope and playfulness in the way the work interacted with the light in the space and made twists and turns around itself. It's interesting to rediscover the artist this way and how beautifully she talks of her works - I get the same feeling as I did back then, I think.
Refreshing, the depth and significance that go into Kaarina's work, how our parents affect our lives...particularly related to the piece "I tried to organize my life"...sensitively put together interview.
What a wonderfully sensitive narrative of how basic feelings of existence can be woven into art - And ooening the refection on life and art with the basic question: how is it to be a human being with all kinds of feelings? And that an artwork of personal and unique experience can change the world a little bit - and that art can help to communicate and understand what it is like to be human. And where do a human being begin or end? Where is the outline? I love this question. It puts a focus on our experience of the fabric of life, body, self, world
And it is so beautifully expressed how we give and receive from each other and the way she focuses on dialoque as everywhere as our ways of perceiving - we perceive , interprete and receive energy when sharing experiences with each other - art is an invitation to give and receive lifeexperience
she has a very delicate soul, I can feel that she doesn't want to let her childhood and her father go, in a sweet way. His work is a good Neverland because she is able to experience her past relation feelings but she lives it in the present times and, most of all, she connect concretely with people. She also have a fragile idea of death, as if she is extremely afraid of it but, because of this, she embrace it as a (self)desctruction, sometimes through her mother. I love how all this is expressed with feelings. The whole thing is very lovely and tender, thank you
If you lost a parent young and dealt with your feelings through art, I think you were lucky to find such a productive way of dealing with it, Christina Lopez Casas. I am glad for you. I write but have tried to write about losing my sister and been unhappy with every result. Each time has been different. I think it may take me a while and it will be productive.
Beautiful woman, but producers, loose the "You're-supposed-to- feel-this-now" muzak. It's distracting from what's really important here and we don't want to be directed by you. Duh....
Kaarina's perceptivenes and integrity is so nourishing. The work is moving and therefore beautiful.
So happy to have this fall into my day - thankyou - a beautiful exchange on the origins of Meaning in our response to materials and to works of art

What a creative use of old clothes. And then she talked about the meaning of clothing to her, remeberence of her father, exchange of energy etc.
I love listening to her. I feel like she works through her traumas with art and an optimistic outlook.
thanks! she is so close to my experience.

That’s so right, it is a manipulation. Didn’t strike me till you said it
Jesus! Toilet paper!!
You are not disposable!
