These works came from a collaboration with Lauri Anttila, that started through an invitation to a duo exhibition at Sculptor gallery. We landed in a shared interest in the Middle Ages: Anttila worked with medieval research in optics, astronomy and cartography, while my work centered around the mystic, abbess and scientist Hildegard of Bingen.
For Pro Artibus summer exhibition Oasis we continued the collaboration in the shape of a color-circle garden. The round garden combined Sigfrid Aronus Forsius’ color theory with recipes from Hildegard of Bingen’s medicine book Physica.
