P.s. I took part in the community art project  PS.doc at Kuopio Art Museum by sending a postcard to the current owner of my childhood home.

I'm calling it "Puunraato" which is like "tree carcass" in English. I originally wanted to take a real tree stump, cut some holes into it and light it up from the inside, but I couldn't find an unfrozen stump anywhere so I turned to building this.

I went up to my attic one evening looking for something and I found all my art class work from 2004 to 2009. I decided to go through all of it, which turned out to be quite the humbling experience.

The first print I've made(2004):

I also found the first woodcut I've made(2009):

One of my first stabs at a self-portrait(2007):

This doesn't really look like me, but I was impressed by the amount of effort I've put in this. I tried so hard to draw what I saw. I've become lazier since. Hmm, time to pick up the slack.
