Wilma Kyöttinen / Fine Art Printmaking BA(Hons)

My practice explores the notion of being within a landscape and the human relationship to nature in all its simplicity.

In my works I aim to speak of the physical landscape and of the inner landscapes that the experience of being in one provokes within us.
 I play with what might be read as ‘romantic’ scenes and like to challenge and interrupt them by deconstructing and reworking images into fragmented elements of time.

Through different media I create works that are based on memory and experience, partly fictional, sometimes constructed and often with ephemeral qualities. Tensions are built up by pairing light and dark, combining vast panoramas with the smallest of details and using contrasting scales.

With a playfulness of materials and textures, a love for layers and repetition, I aim to create poetic fragments of inhabiting and embodying landscapes, alluding to how I actually experience and move through them.
