Anu Tuominen

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."

Anu Tuominen (born 1961), the winner of the 2003 Ars Fennica prize, is interested in organising forgotten things – worn-out pencils, old postcards, broken crockery and cutlery; she is also hooked on crocheting. In an extract from Ars Fennica 2003. Anu Tuominen Pessi Rautio explores transformations wrought on Tuominen's unlikely subject matter.
