Lauri Wuolio

1984 Jyväskylä

I work primarily with sound and language. Sometimes my works find their realization in card games, everyday items and fictive ritual masks. There are also works which I will not discuss.

I am interested in the obscure areas of art where insightful environmental art imperceptibly changes a common experience into an aesthetic example. I spend a lot of time thinking about identity, spirituality, life and sex. I believe that life wants to move on despite what we might think inside our tiny minds. Sometimes life tries to continue through lovemaking, sometimes in the form of a pack of medicines or a spontaneous song. It is life that determines what we will do next.

I have recently been learning to play the tambourine. Does this sound too simple? Well, the rippling pool out of which all life once started was also quite simple.
