Moosa Myllykangas 
I am a visual artist and I have been working professionally for 30 years with different materials, such as industrial waste, metal, plastic, acrylic, polycarbonate and ready made-objects. Materials I use have no more any particular point, per se. More important is that they support the message behind the final work. Occasionally materials can act as inspirational catalyst, too.
I have done installations, site-specific works and various large and small pieces of artwork. Daylight, shadows, transparency, as well as mass and power of used materials play elemental role in my works.
