Drawing
There is an excavating process that is active while drawing that is similar to automatic writing; the distinctive simplicity and freedom of the medium invites an unmediated sourcing of imagery that often haunts an unconscious part of the mind. Kilpeläinen’s pencil drawings graft memory and imagination, as subtle reminders of a life around and within us. Adorned with text, which surfaces on the paper like spoken word in a dream, visions of animals and fictional beings are summoned in these drawings, bespeaking a different order, a genuine animistic moment.
