Kalle Turakka Purhonen (born 1974) is a multi-artist graduated from Helsinki Academy of Fine Arts.
Sculptures / collages 2010-
I regard myself more as an collage maker than a sculptor. Usyally I collect my materials for a long time and work them only lightly. It is an essential part of the conceptual side of the works that the materials are recognizable.
