Information:
"The cabin exhibition of Kalervo Uuttu celebrates the history of northern Finland and the indigenous Sami folk tradition. Stepping into the darkness of the cellar, the viewer finds a room upholstered with snagged wood and surrounded by two dozen concrete and wooden spirits. The sculptures are often covered with moss, feathers and other natural materials. In the background, Uuttu, now as the hoarse-voiced sorcerer, tells of the evil deeds of these spirits, which appear straight from old Sami legends. Kalervo, who makes the figures in his wood shop, seems to thrive in his role as the mystical storyteller."
