ON THE TEMPORAL DIMENSIONS OF A PAINTING
What is the time of a painting?
There is the time of looking at the painting; the time of whatever it might represent; or it might have traces of something that was done at some point. Then there could be fragments of a narrative, existing in a time of their own, and of course the subject matters can deal with the past, with the future, with the present. And then all of these time planes blend together.

Where reality and imagined merge
The unstable correlation between reality and and the imagined seems central in Tuori's paintings:
One can only make sense of reality through fiction, in the sense that illusion is a necessary means in perceiving the real, filling the blanks of the things our mind keeps pushing away.
Questions of what we see, what we don't see, or what we suspect is hiding behind the folding screen or behind the door, as well as what might happen beyond the edges of the painting. What kinds of things we imagine to fill the gaps: what sorts of fantasies, hopes and prejudices?
