Kazik
KAZIK / exhibition at HUUTO gallery in Helsinki / 2022
Kazik is a cake slice of a biography where stitches and folded marks freeze on a well-cut material. It is a close look on life’s pressed edges and ragged ends – a search of rhythm, colours, structures and scents. The sound of a sewing machine and a thread being pulled through a thick fabric is buzzing in the head. Much of his hard work has been imprinted in these tailoring tools. Suddenly, a spool of tightly twisted memories rolls out in the mind. The past is a patchwork of skilfully printed large surfaces, an impossible story to tailor according to anyone’s measurements.
(The exhibition was organized with the support of FINNISH ART SOCIETY and Young Artist Grant in Finland)
