international artist-in-residence program in rural Finland

MELANIE FITZMAURICE - Headspace/Snowspace
TESSA ANDROUTSOPOULOS - I Still Can See an Outside World

On Saturday March 12 the opening has been attended by children and adults, artists and art lovers, together an international companionship with people from Finland, Australia, Russia, the Netherlands and England. The children are very interested in the Tessa's and Melanie's art works. Both artists have given art workshops in their class. In this way the work of the children and the professional art works have got a strong link.

The art works of both artists are different in technique, vision and presentation. The environment they have been stayed has challenged them to explore new territories and to cross border their boundaries. As artists with a different background and attitude they did that in a personal way.

Melanie has started to explore the artistic possibilities of traditional felting and crocheting to new forms of art. All the exhibited sculptures are soft and at the same time monumental. The art works are full of humor and refer to her personal history and her experience with exchange between her origin and the rural Finnish winter.

The divers themes in Tessa's prints are connected with her interests and her stay on an isolated place in rural Finland.
