The exhibition consists of pieces carved from wood and stone, painted surfaces and marble mosaics, which together form a spatial whole. The painted relief surfaces familiar from Anttonen’s previous works create, together with other elements, a world whose shapes rise from beneath the surface and are conceptually linked to the ideas of covering, hiding and metamorphosis. The gray floor of the gallery space is the scene of the exhibition, where most of the works are placed. In addition to abstracted shapes, one can see acorns, snakes and a bird’s nest in the whole. The works are strongly related to each other, and thus the mirroring between different elements links the works to one another, like an idea that leads to another or a story whose next chapter reveals something about the previous one.

The exhibition has been supported by the Finnish Cultural Foundation, VISEK and the Paulo Foundation.
