She has worked with many mixed media collaborations such as Dance & Design, a 2008-2009 project that was inspired by sustainable development theories, combining dance shows and textile art exhibitions in different museums in Finland. Her Cleaning Closet and Dream projects included installations made of recycled textiles and inspired by women’s narratives.
