Tuija Teiska has gained recognition for her inventive textile sculptural works and sculpture installations that mines the darker thoughts, emotioins of woman society to sex, human nature as death and love. Her drawing from memory, nostalgia, art history, and popular culture.                                                                                                                                      Teiska's works are autofictional which originate from a personal emotional reaction, but during the artistic process her works acquire a meaning and a story that deals with the lives of several women.
