Danger Zone

Continuing from previous work mythical animals, this one shares motifs with many myths around the world. My inspiration comes from the Finnish mythology , where the River of Tuoni is a black river that the dead must cross after their passing. It is sometimes a burning rapid with sharp blades of swords, battle axes and sewing needles in it. Sometimes it is a calm stream where a swan can be seen swimming in. In the story of Lemminkäinen in the Kalevala, as his final task in pursuit to marry the maiden of the north, he was asked by his to be mother-in-law to kill the bird. As he comes to the river and is about to shoot the swan with his bow, he is ambushed by a vengeful cattle herder who Lemminkäinen previously insulted. The herder raises a viper from the water and sends it off like a magical spear piercing through several organs of Lemminkäinen. The herder then tosses him into the river and chops the body to pieces. I am curious the symbolism of the swan in this story. What it is the meaning of this bird that lives in such a dark and treacherous place. Around these parts swan was thought to be a sacred animal related to humans and whoever would kill one would be doomed. Obviously, that was plan of the mistress of the North when she gave the task. Across the world the swan has many meanings, it is considered to be a symbol of things like purity and light, beauty and grace, eternal love, fidelity, wisdom, and transformation. Like in this story it is connected to the otherworld, due to it is capability to travel through different elements. Regarding love, the swan are known to mate for life and are also fierce protectors of their young. Self-love also comes up - as it is a sole swan, it does kind of resonate. Lemminkäinen had a wife from before, but after she broke her promise of not “going out to town”, in anger he broke his vow of not going to war and set out to pillage and plunder and seek out a new wife from the perilous north- against the advice of his mother. While working on this piece many synchronicities happen and I’m reminded of the movie Top Gun where the hotheaded main character Maverick is playing to that archetype. Reckless hero like Lemminkäinen, he also has a taste for women, is skilled in warfare and always trying to prove himself. The big twist in the film is when his friend and co-pilot Goose dies, not directly because of him. but his recklessness caught in his rival, the otherwise composed character Iceman. If you follow my musings, the birds, goose and swan are somewhat similar in behavior, and they do share a lot of symbolism. Maverick carries the blame of Goose’s death on himself despite being officially cleared and almost gives up his career as a pilot. He has lost his self, trying to sneak while her love affair also happens to be moving on to new and better things with her career. He will eventually find himself after talking with his commanding officer Viper, who tells him about his father and his heroism when they flew together. Maverick returns to do what he does best and saves the day, gets the girl back, for the moment at least, and in the end chooses to become an instructor in Top Gun. Lemminkäinen’s mother will come and rake the pieces of his son from the river and resurrect him. He will find trouble again, as will Maverick. My previous works with animals have had some symbolism related to crypto. It was not in my mind initially with this one, but the swan through its qualities is also connected to the moon, the desired destination of cryptonauts in hopes of their particular investment shooting upwards. Putting everything on the line for that to happen is why many to crash and burn. I’ve had my taste too, hoping to have learned something over the years. There is a reason for the myths to exist and talk to us through the ages inspiring art.

My earliest memory of an excavator is from our summer cabin with my father is next to me as I am in the sandbox playing with a green metal toy excavator, which was just a mechanical digging arm with a seat on it. You would operate it by pushing and pulling on the handles you were holding on to. I remember the joy of discovering how it worked after the initial struggle, and how satisfying it was just to dig and move the sand around. Much later in art school, I started doing ink drawing between painting sessions. I did a little bit of it in my teens when I was enthusiastic about making comics, though without much patience for it. And then, few years after my graduation I would pick the pens again, with more definite goals. I was often drawing just random things in my sketchbooks. I did not think much of them then. They were an excuse for the line as I wrote on a notebook once. I was trying to learn the medium. It was awkward first. I had wrong kind of paper, and the ink would splatter as the nibs scratched the paper. Then again, I cherished it and often abused my pens on purpose creating a big mess. Looking back, I see frustration of all kinds. I remember that my eyes got very tired quickly from drawing. I was not very good with expressing myself with words and especially dreaded writing, It is all in there. At some point the excavators started to appear. I found them fascinating to look at, If saw one on a construction on my way to college. They reminded me of some ancient dinosaur, perhaps because of association from the Flintstones cartoon. I still stop to admire them sometimes. The drawings were not trying to be actual representations of the machinery, though I did study them a little bit. The excavators were turning out to become a part of a system of symbols, same as with the repeating letter “a”, I was drawing with something of a built obsession as method to discover meaning with absurdity. The idea began with the launch of the 24h feature on AsyncArt. It has changed a lot since, but it was always going to be something with excavators. Some of the watercolor works were made for this piece in particular. Though I forgot about them for a while until finding them in box stored away. Some are old ones all the way from my first exhibition. I put them all together and arranged them randomly. The runes I painted myself just for fun, let’s say, not intended to be used in art. As the time arose, I felt compelled to use them. I cast them randomly for each picture, as a symbolic gesture. The runes can be representing many things, from actual letters to wisdom and magic. There are many things we can see but don’t understand and then ignore until we learn their meaning, like words of a foreign language. The old drawings from my sketchbooks were placed on the image transparently showing the inverted colors of what is below. I still feel ashamed about a lot of them, the silly puns and visual jokes, mundane scribbles, desires, and struggles contained within the pages, but it was necessary to the turn the ground for this work. Some of it I can appreciate more now and feel proud of things that I have made progress with. This makes me think of history and archaeology. the act in time, digging in the present to gain knowledge of our past and creating it for the future, while we are constantly producing new material to be dug up later. The feel for material is very important to me. whether digital or traditional, it takes time to get acquainted with it. With this piece my material is beyond the changing images and the technology making it possible - it is almost as if it is time itself that I am digging away.
