Anu Tuominen combines the theory of art with beauty found in unexpected places. She does this by collecting and sorting mittens, sugar cubes, or kettle-holders.
"I start from pure theories, geometry and mathematics, I think about structures, forms, but always keep aesthetics in mind. The work must be beautiful, good-looking, in order to open up and function properly."
"Beauty is the important word, although it sounds so light. For me, an ugly object is beautiful, and I think the 'beautiful' things they sell in shops are hideous. I look for small miracles in objects."

Thinkables is an encyclopedia which takes us on a journey into the fantastical world of this Finnish artist.
With a sense of disjointed humour close to that of Belgian surrealists, Anu creates feasts, landscapes, and canvases by transforming every day objects. So crayons, both red and blue, become a landscape of mountains, reflected in water or a basket of fruit, made up of tennis balls and animals' playthings.
