"My working process proceeds in jerks, and I have several works under preparation at the same time. I do everything myself and apparently as laboriously as possible. My method is one of craftsmanship and it is structural and experimental. It challenges anew my materials and myself. My technical means are the drill, the fretsaw, glue and a sewing machine"

"I work with everyday, worthless, found and discarded materials, which I interpret symbolically and conceptually. I feel I am an intermediary: with the aid of a new connection given via my work I want to prompt new and surprising associations with the material"

(Janna Syvänoja quoted in an article by Tuula Poutasuo in Form Function Finland No. 66 2/97 )
