Päivi Maunu Works and lives in Helsinki, Finland
One of the themes of my work is abstract experience of nature and place, and how this can be portrayed in an interpretative visual form. I call it as PerforMental Art, a combination of art performance and environmental art. As medium I frequently use ink, sugar, sage and other natural materials. By combining elements, an ink drawing session can be reconstituted as an act in which the brush and the body that guides it dance and play in an extended installation. The moment brought out by suspense and other emotions emphasizes ideas and images rather than aspiring towards scientific or realistic truth. The sketchy but indelible imprint refers not to some sort of grandeur, but to an ongoing series of events in life and work. I have continued with a series of Clarification performances and acts for several years. The work has been engaging with influences from different cultural sources combined my own cultural contexts. The purpose of remaking these rituals is to clarify inner feelings and experiences, even the energy of the building and other non-human entities.
