The installation exhibition of Anu Pentik In the beginning there was a seed at the Wäinö Aaltonen Museum in Turku was stunning. In recent years, the 79-year-old Pentik has focused on artistic work and the exhibition follows her life cycle and begins with the lovely flowering dandelion fields of childhood. Followed by lightly flying seedheads and after that a gloomy phase of loss of creativity and doubt. I have no pictures of this depression phase as the room was very dark. Finally, the colors and the joy of creativity are found again and finally the artist achieves peace.
Pentik reportedly worked on this exhibition for a couple of years and used more than 400 meters of nearly 200-year-old log, 900 kilos of stoneware clay, 800 kilos of casting clay and 600 kilos of paper porcelain mass.
Anu Pentik (b. 1942) lives and works in Posio and observes her surroundings
with the most sensitive eyes. The sources of inspiration for her production are the animals,
colors and shapes of Lapland's nature, but above all the different shades of experienced life.

Also big ceramic plates were fantastic. They depicted different phases of dandelion.
