Mommy’s Crystal Tears
Channel 2
Mommys’ Crystal Tears
2011, 7:40, HD video, surround soundMommy’s Crystal Tears is a four channel video installation composed of two women’s faces isolated on a white background, separated by a slow moving close-up of a swaying chandelier. As a reference to Michelangelo’s Putti in his Sistine Chapel, winged babies soar above our heads, projected on the ceiling.
The women are a mother (projected on the left) and her daughter (projected on the right). The daughter’s amplified eyes are semi-transparent, orbiting reflective Black Obsidian crystals. The pupils are barely visible. She looks straight at us, occasionally shifting horizontally in deceptive increments. The esoteric mother hovers from above, embedded in a white cloth or cloud and looks down. She is crying raw diamonds, which at a closer look contain a blinking eye.
The two faces are separated by the third video, a slowly swaying chandelier towering towards a white ceiling. The Black Obsidian crystal and raw diamond hover in front of the swaying chandelier.
The diegetic sound of the crystal chandelier clinking as it sways has been stretched to the duration of one millennium. The first 7:40 of the millennium is heard in each cycle of the work. A motorized chandelier that sways 45º, 30cm from the floor is also installed in the exhibition space.

– 4 media players and hard drive
– 5.1 surround sound system with optical input

Maija Lempiäinen-Nyrén
October 12, 2011
Maija is my greatest friend since..always. Maija has an incredibly interesting and mysterious inner life. Everyone who is around her becomes fascinated with this lovely, inward looking woman from Finland with her small, black star’ eyes and soft and gentle voice. Looking at her art is like swimming for the soul. The delicate yet ‘significant’ plants in Maija’s paintings constitute a huge and developing herbarium and is her visual vocabulary.
Although most critics and viewers see her motifs as plants, Maija’s created ‘things’ are not necessarily plants but creatures, shadows, water, natural formations, form, colour, all approximations of her own truth, stemming from her strong connection to life. How else explain it? The variations are endless, streaming out to us from Maija’s generous source/well of emotional engagement and ardor. Year after year she keeps her direction, follows her road. She seems to always be on her road, regardless of what happens around her, in real life. Maybe for Maija the richness of her inner life is more real than reality. Her art is her generous invitation to us to share her world. For as long as I have known Maija, 3o years now she has not hesitated, veered, vacillated, put her brush down for more than a couple of days. Thank you Maija.
