"Spring Express"

Together with Misa Asanuma, Hobusepea gallery, Tallinn, 2021
Exhibition views: Hedi Jaansoo

By weaving together drawing, ceramic, concrete products and found objects, the exposition constructs a wandering narrative about the longing to be elsewhere and creating fictional worlds into your everyday. The exhibition invites you to a swift sensory journey, in which a comforting familiarity that comes with previously perceived objects and phenomena is mixed with playful scenes of imagination.

Where do you go when days blend into one, when nostrils are longing for spring? Where do you go when slipping into reverie?

cutting through bushes
sticking to the path
going by curves and angles
muddy diagonals on sprouting grass

past the silent hedge
dropping resin and shadows
where the last bit of orange sets
as you meet the water

My favorite piece was the striped awning. I stored it in my bedroom for a while. Because of its fabric and the way it was folded, it reminded me of those sling chairs we used to have in our summer house. They always had a slight musty smell that disappeared over the summer.
