Nomadic Recoils was a Residency with Akkigalleria in Jyvaskyla Finland, from August 20 - September 2nd, 2010. Most of the material for this project was found and salvaged from the surrounding landscape in the streets, old abandoned houses, farms and barns and then drawn on, combined with or Re-coiled.

My relationship to this material was very spontaneous given the 13 days of time I had to complete the new body of work. This created a collision of transformations and operations of displacement altering familiar cultural objects into playful and sabotaged artifacts.

Äkkigalleria is an artist-run, non-profit, nomadic exhibition space that appears spontaneously when appropriate locations become available. Their intention is to provide a rent-free exhibition space for local and international artists to show new work. Äkkigalleria was established in 2009, out of the necessity to mobilize visual arts into happenings and events.  Äkkigalleria strives to promote creative risk taking, to find new and imaginative ways of sharing art with the public and to bring art to different public spheres by usurping existing spaces.
