Hehku I a site-specific installation standing in a rural field in Asikkala, Finland. The work reveals the process of charring, though it is unclear if the sculpture is devolving or evolving. The structure is still smoldering from the burning process, but the vapor appears as much like a strange mist as it does smoke, which creates an unknown aspect and an undeniable presence.
