The formation of "Jalo Kivi"



It's very interesting to learn new things about my own creative process. During this course I changed my ideas occasional times, sometimes because of uncertainty, sometimes just because the course created the frames for amazing ideas. When I look back, the thing I learnt was to have enough time to develop and brainstorm a lot of ideas and then pick a few out of them. Then present some ideas,  choose one and keep my head and heart to it. On the other side I also realized that it is essential to me to wander around in the planning process and question projects. I don't think my performance and installation  "Jalo Kivi" would have turned out as it was if I didn't get the space for doubt.








At some point the visual plan looked very promotion-like. I wanted to have a camouflage promotion-looking stand. In the end I decided to arrange a more down-to earth installation and here's a primary sketch of that vision:



In "Jalo Kivi" the stones were laid in a circle made out of 19 planks and logs. The performance was to hand out the stones and remind people about the weight of nature.
