Sun 30th Aug: Profile Weekender : Ritta Ikonen Part IV





So what is next in the pipeline for Ritta?

"Other stuff coming up are exhibitions and some more masterclasses in Russia in September, some talks in Helsinki and a little project with YCN, Whitechapel gallery, Tate etc."

Damn the girl isn't giving anything away! But talking of YCN, here are some action snaps of Ritta setting up the earthworm from the series 'A sentimental yearning' from a previous YCN LIVE project at Applied Works. The worm was lost overground in Hoxton and made its way to rehabilitation in Dartmor............

"Some photos from an earthworm day...
The promised rain and gloom never came for our planned shoot. I put my hope into autumn rains and shall return for the final picture. Got plenty of manoeuvre shoveling experience by now..."


Go to Ritta's site to see the final photos by Anja Schaffner of the worm winding its way round Shoreditch.........
