The technique has become a way of thinking. It is continuous and present and allows a portrait to slowly find its character. I am currently working on a series called Kyl\u00e4l\u00e4iset (Villagers), which consists of portraits of my fellow villagers in H\u00e4meenkyr\u00f6. I study the essence of familiarity and shared experiences. I meet the same familiar strangers every day on the street and our common world is the size of a small village. I am depicting the present moment by portraying my own surroundings, but at the same time I am bringing out something common to us all.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Beautiful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you seen these amazing life-sized crocheted &#8216;n knitted works of fantastic-ness floating around the interweb?
