Pia is an artist that currently works and resides in Helsinki, Finland. She enjoys working with the relation between body and space. Pia explores with different perspectives of the world and is inspired by “natural and physical phenomena”. This can be seen throughout her work. She creates artwork that immerses the viewer in these perspectives and creates an interesting space that displays her themes of change, time, and body.
The image above shows an installation Pia did in an exhibition in Paris. Deja Vu VII, 2019, is a work consisting of life-size ink silhouettes on seethrough, tulle fabric. The figures move slightly between each work, and the layering creates the illusion of movement. It also shows the theme of gradual change. With so many sheets and little movements in between it suggests the idea of slow growth.
The use of tulle and the multiples of an image is something that interests me. I may want to incorporate this idea into one of my works this semester. The layering effect of multiple drawings is a way to transform a space and display a drawing as a 3-dimensional work.
