BUTTERFLY ~ FLUTTERs BY

~ When the heart is full of little birds, there is no space for anger or bitterness. ~

Iida’s style of making art branches out in many ways: she draws, paints, photographs and writes poetry
combining all these elements. The past few years she has concentrated on working more with inks.
But if she is not having fun with pens and brushes, her hands might be shaping something else like
a warm-hearted forest fellow Naava (Usnea) or even building an own love ladder for a creature
called The Universe. Time after time she has ended up exploring happiness or the delicate forms of
existence itself. Precious stories can be found all around, no matter where you are or in which company.
Thinking about art and life in general: creativity flows without force, behind every corner
lies the possibility of something that can make your day.

Iida grew up in Kaskinen, which is not only the smallest town in Finland, but also an island.
She has BA degree in photography. She graduated from Arts Academy at Turku University of
Applied Sciences in 2008. Her artworks have been exhibited in Finland and abroad (for example in The Headquarters of United Nations, NYC/USA). Her works belong to private and public collections such as Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria. Some of her poems have been published in Italian and English,
but she writes them mainly in Finnish. She has illustrated newspaper articles and magazine, book and album covers.

Propositions artistiques en échange de la résidence (oeuvres, cours, ateliers, dîner, concert...) : For residency host I will offer 1-2 of my ink drawings (new or older pieces) or something else like a few of my unique Mossy -fingerpuppets. I prefer a bit longer residencies, at least 1-2 months, because then you can really focus on your work and also explore the place where you are.
Description environment are you looking for ( nature, urban, other…) : I would be pleased if the residency were somehow close to nature. An urbain place is okay too if some forests or river/lake/seaside ain't totally far away. I don't have a driver's lisences, so my options are to walk, cycle or use public transport. I'm also intersted in learning to ride a horse or pony (I have ridden once in France, really liked it!). I visited Ireland this year, I love the country and the Irish - so friendly. I would like to return there. I'm also interested in Iceland and Canada, but I'm open to other possiblities too.
Describe your projects for a residence : Right now, one of my dreams is to create Butterly Space – a room full of little colorful paper butterlies. A silent relaxing space where to gather your energy together. There could be big pillows on the floor where to rest and just enjoy the view. As I was in Ireland, I was selling these little butterlies in Shop Street in Galway. I paint them with ink and glue diffrent colors of velvet on the other side. Beside butterlies, I also want to concentrate on making some new Mossy- fingerpuppets. You can buy them straight from me or from lovely Fairyshop, Secret Garden, in Kinvara, Galway Co.

Description of the type of workspace needed (office, studio, rehearsal space…) : About the workspace - - Some water point would be great, sink or something, because I work with inks and sometimes I wash the paper to get different effects. The basic stuff like a table and a chair would be lovely to have & also WiFi if possible.

    Voyage Dessin – Pèlerinage Créatif
    Visual arts - Lens (France) - 16/09/2024

    Mes sincères salutations, Je suis un artiste-auteur peintre, sculpteur, performeur, mais je chante aussi et avance même ma premier œuvre littéraire. Après un grand nombre d'œuvres peintes, je ressens un besoin de consacrer une période au dessin pur, à la ligne, le croquis, l'esquisse, le dessin d'extérieur, le dessin de morphologie, la physionomie, les paysages, les maisons, les êtres! J'ai espoir d'organiser une sorte de pèlerinage créatif pour dessiner le pays, revoir la France d'un œil nouveau, mais aussi accroitre mes talents de dessinateurs pour revenir encore meilleur à la peinture. J'ai espoir d'organiser cette marche artistique en 2025, en une voir même plusieurs fois, le long de l'année. L'objectif étant donc d'une part la création d'oeuvre dessinés, mais aussi l'élévation de mon niveau global pour mon ouvrage pictural en atelier. Je suis diplômé d'écoles d'arts célèbres et suis moi même bien connu. Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Columbia College of Chicago, Félicité de l'Institut Européen des Arts Céramiques. Vous pouvez voir mon ouvrage ici-même: https://www.jariku.fr/oeuvres Je suis la aussi bien pour rencontrer un lieu, des êtres, que des histoires et des paysages. Je suis quelqu'un d'aimant, simple, amoureux des grâces du vivant. J'aime beaucoup mon pays, son Histoire et son patrimoine, mais suis aussi très ouvert à la nouveauté. Avec espoir de créer en vous les meilleurs émotions, mais aussi si vous le désirez des discussions intellectuels, théologiques, anthropologiques et bien plus encore. Mes meilleurs salutations, S.A.R Jariku

    Artist Looking For A Residency From Mid-august To Mid-september
    Visual arts - Tel Aviv (Israel) - 01/07/2024

    Hi, My name is Myriam! I'm a visual artist*, photographer, and peace activist currently working on my first solo show, which is set to open on 31/10 in Tel Aviv. I'm looking for a place where I can work on and finish the artworks for the show, develop the concept, assemble a mini photobook to accompany the show opening, and complete my thesis, which ties in with the exhibition and the book. In return for hosting me, I'm more than happy to offer a workshop, portraits, a piece of my artwork, or any other skills I can share as a thank you! Ideally, I'm seeking a peaceful location in nature or near the sea in Southern Europe. If you have a space that might be suitable or know someone who does, I would love to hear from you! Warm regards, Myriam *My mediums are mainly photography, video, programming and installations
