Buttercup Button Candy Croup

Iisa Lepistö (b. 1994, Sipoo) and Sara Blosseville (b. 1994, Dieppe) were invited by Maa-Tila project space to work on a duo exhibition. For the first time in work, the two visual artists come together in a whirling twirl of barn dust, horse sweat and pink hair clips, treating the project space as a diary from teenage feels of stable adventures and virtual realities lived between video game landscapes and dreaming in bed.

The works wear past equine friend’s names, that were carved on the wooden doors of their boxes, and that make your inside little pink star burst with excitement. Most of the materials used here are second-hand: unused cemetery stones, late pony gear, found toys, textiles sitting in the closet.
