Oatmeal package drawing (Kaurahiutalepakkauspiirustus)

Experimental drawing

Technique: Graphite on oatmeal package

Size: H 36.5 cm x W 45 cm

Year of manufacture: 2024

A handful of graphite was sealed inside an empty oatmeal package and shaken thoroughly. The process produces a sharp, percussive sound—graphite clattering against the cardboard interior. As it moved, the graphite left behind dense, powdery traces on the surfaces within. When the package was opened and flattened, it revealed a quiet visual rhythm shaped by the motion and the geometry of the folded structure. An ordinary object—familiar and disposable—was turned into a drawing, a small act of re-seeing the everyday as something quietly intentional.
