Finish artist Riitta Ikonen is a rare bird. With a degree in Communication Arts and Design from the Royal College of Art in London, Ikonen employs hand-made costumes in pertinent settings to address a wide range of topics — often social and environmental — from personal space to global warming to communication games i.e. Chinese whispers (aka telephone). Some of my favorites include (in descending order) having a bright idea, the tragically impaired migration of house martins, a worrisome absence of snow and ice in certain northern climates, roadkill, and the applications and protective qualities of nylon.
