Handprint is an exhibition featuring the artists of the Hyäryllistä collective (Jouko Korkeasaari, Sari Koski-Vähälä and Heli Kurunsaari).

It presents three distinct ways of thinking and art-making that merge to form a new collective logic and visual identity. 

Each artist’s solo projects are presented side by side with their co-created works, the latter being made from handcrafted elements and recycled materials.

Slow, repetitive handcrafting is characteristic of the group’s shared practice. By working together, the perspectives and strengths of the three artists become organically intertwined. 

Also central to their philosophy is an openness to learning new skills and making discoveries by inviting chance and surprise.

The artists make a practice of reusing the materials and components of their earlier works, thus perpetuating the ongoing cycle of materials, forms and meanings that is uniquely characteristic of their work as a collective.

The title of the exhibition refers to the importance of ‘thinking with one’s hands’, but it can also be understood in the broader sense of a handprint or legacy that we leave to future generations and the planet both as individuals and as members of the human race.
