| Giant Colour Pencils by Jonna Pohjalainen |
Jonna, the artist, says she is interested in people, islands, lights, colours, see, sky and stones. According to her, it is mostly the place itself that directs her art. "It can be painting, installation or an environmental art piece. Environmental art is a concrete way of raise up the values of the area, to see ones own environment in a new way and get interested in influencing it".
The story goes that she conceived of this artwork during a field course. Everyday she brought her pencils and examined the countryside. Until she hit upon the idea to transform a pile of aspen logs into these giga coloured pencils.
I want to play with them. But I would like to sharpen them first, isn't that odd?
