A Base For A Crane; a home of materials, meshes, machines, spirits and workers; a community of connectors nestled together. From liquid to fixture, from grass to sky, from lifting to landing. A complex tapestry of intricate root systems, remaining fragments and heartbroken utilities.

A savannah of reeds holds hands and arms to form a foundation of support; the gift is the leaning to withstand the gushes. 

Maija Fox (she/her) is a Helsinki-based artist whose work is characterised by material-based explorations. Her sculptures and installations are created through an intricate combination of metal fabrication techniques such as metal casting. Maija often incorporates personal elements drawn from both rural and industrial contexts as a way to illustrate the interrelationship between natural and human-made mechanisms. In addition, Maija seeks to highlight the intersections between feminist and environmental perspectives; reflecting on the identity of utilitarian objects, material processes, spirit, and function within their respective environments.
