Finnish sculptor Emma Jääskeläinen walks us through new exhibition ‘Proper Omelette’:
Struggling to paint and draw, she took up the freedom of sculpture. Her latest exhibition, in the lobby of Helsinki’s, is a collection of family items designed to draw attention to sustainability and the world around us. She took me on a tour of her exhibition, and answered some quickfire questions about her work, and Finnish design ideals.It was a joke at first – a working title – but it refers to something domestic.
When I think of sculpture, I also think of design. With designers and architects such as Alvar Aalto, Finland is known for its design culture. Do you fit into that? I think there’s always a pressure to be too ‘designy’, and hopefully I haven’t fallen into that, but I certainly fit the desire to be sustainable. This wool here for example, it’s Finnish, but so much of our wool comes from Australia and New Zealand. We need to do so much more to be environmentally conscious.For this project, a lot. My mum helped with the sculpting and my boyfriend helped with the stone. I oversaw the project, but there’s just so much physical work I couldn’t do alone.
If you’re visiting Emma’s exhibition in Helsinki, listen to the walkthrough I did with her, to find out more about each piece as you see it:‘Proper Omelette’ is on display at the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki until 22nd November 2020.
