The bone collector: reviving Finland's pagan past. North Karelian artist Sanni-Maaria Puustinen works with the remains of dead animals to create items that honour their lives in ways that predate Lutheranism and Orthodoxy. Puustinen's other artwork.
I love this very much, thank you for sharing. The people remember. May the spirits and our ancestors speak to us, and may we listen.

“Mum, are we going to eat this?” the kids asked when I was boiling the flesh off the bones of a dead fox. Nowadays they know to ask if there's food or a dead animal in the pot.”
Kids need to learn to ask the important questions.
