Hanna Harkes – Ooodelleeen Ya Ooodelleeen

Ooodelleeen Ya Ooodelleeen

Ooodelleeen Ya Ooodelleeen is a visual language adaptation of the 1999 Aku Ankka
comic strip Uudelleen ja uudelleen, translated for non-finnish-speakers. Each speech
bubble has been replaced by a visual translation of the words spoken in the original
Finnish version, and the characters suitably redrawn. The strip has been adapted
predominantly through the media of linocut, stone lithography, monotype, drawing and
handtinting.
Hannah Harkes is an artist from the UK, who in recent years has mainly lived and worked
somewhere between Estonia and Finland. She has been studying Finnish for some
months, under the teachings of Aku Ankka.
