Moosa Myllykangas
Born 1960, Sievi, Finland

I started as a textile maker in 1986. My first weaving trials with copper thread I started in the beginning of the 1990´s. The material was wonderfully three dimensional and easily treatable. When making my diploma work in the University of Art and Design in Helsinki I found my way to the junk yards.
Nowadays I use in my works mainly waste materials in different forms, not to forget copper and steel thread and line. I have noticed that the materials seek their way to me. Last two years I have worked with acrylic and gold foil.
Many materials found by chance bring up memories in me about events during my life. Eventually those events shape up to a piece of art. The content of the work is very important for me but I try to leave things open also for the viewer so that everybody can create their own story around the work. I hope that the message of the artwork becomes the essential point.
