Aino Lehtonen
Denmark and Finland, 1995
Thesis: Let them know that you are here
Where I became a mother
Let them know that you are here
Sielulintu (Soul bird)
My work consists of three parts; an installation, a book and a performance. All three parts emerge from a collection of poems that were written during my first year as a mother. Through written words, singing and various imagery I search for ways to narrate and share my experience of motherhood and the numerous emotions that came with it.
