This dissertation examines my Teoksia exhibition (2001) and the experiences of nature that it conveys in the context on minimalism. The exhibition acts as my research material and consists of 8 white pieces, through which I analyse the north, the cold and snowy winter as experiences of nature. I examin Teoksia exhibition after a 10 year break. The motives for the exhibition were originally sosiological, now the interpretation is a reflection of the artist's methods and processes. Methods of examination include qualitative multisensual observations and walking-method. The problem is also approached by placing it into context, using Erwin Panofsky's three-level method of interpretation. The dissertation also reflects on the position of the artist and observer; the meaning of intuition and analytical thinking. Through pre-iconographic depiction one may become familiar with the exhibition and the works in their pure form. Using iconographic analysis the exhibition is examined through minimalism, conceptualism and early depictions of Finnish winter, as well as Pekka Halonen and current Finnish textile arts. Iconological interpretation familiarises the essence of northern winter, together with placetheory, silence, flow-experience and the colour of white. Walking expeditions in the wintery nature function as background experiences for my works. The experience of flow and silence, relating to the expeditions, are translated into Teoksia exhibition as a peaceful and white overall impression. The minimalist works in Teoksia exhibition indicate towards the Black Square (1913) by Kasimir Malevitš; minimalistic design principles Less is More, as well as the meaning of shape and colour of the works. The direction of style is determined by transcendentalism and weightlessness. At the base of the exhibition is a type of gesturelessness, which is typically a part of Finnish culture, as well as humans' fear of losing control of life and the tendency in minimalism to focus on the essence of a gesture. The white colour not only expresses positive symbolism but also darker tones.
