"...a series of expressive sculptures stand on pillar-like pedestals as if scientific specimens of newly discovered organisms. With their organic and decorative forms, colourful spots, stringy feelers or tentacles, the pieces play with the limits of identification. From a distance, Rannikko’s unique sculptures seem deceptively like paintings, their rough patches of colour like brushstrokes. The new works are hybrids in other ways as well: the imaginative sculptures are playful amalgamations of elements derived from the realms of insects and plants, the representational and the abstract, the familiar and the unknown. "
