The Vessel, it’s all gone mushroom shaped and then to dust!

Halonen has worked on and produced many collaborative and large- scale projects and commissions and has shown her work widely in international exhibitions and festivals such as Incheon Biennale of Women Artists, South-Korea, IFFR, Rotterdam, Hayward Gallery London, 2017, Biennale of Sydney 2014, Lilith Performance Studio. Malmo, Centre Pompidou, Paris etc and Gus Fisher Gallery, New Zealand. Halonen graduated with an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College, London in 2006.
