hiisi.htmHiiden valtakunta / The Sacred Realm of
the Forest Elf, 2005 consists of 11 tree stumps
covered with red felt Central Park of Helsinki.

• "The Elf's Realm" consists of tree stumps covered
  with red felt, dotted in one area of the forest.
  I cut the felt to shape as you would with
  garments, both to reveal and to cover the
  fascinating shapes of the roots and tree stumps.
  Other than that, I left the area in its natural
  state.In this art work, I wanted to examine the
  spiritual meaning of the forest, the pantheistic
  connection with nature that our Finnish culture
  is rooted in.
