I have a very special affinity for birds. An injured, rescued baby corella from Moore River, WA, changed my world almost 15 years ago when we re-learned to fly together, against all odds. Later, parrots and budgies bred in captivity have taken over this household.
I will never cease to be amazed, delighted and humbled by the continuing learning process and the bonds which can develop between two such different species, humans and the descendants of dinosaurs. We are separated by 60 million years of evolution, yet so often seem to understand each other seamlessly; we connect in giving and receiving affection; in our sense of play and humour, in our need for solitude, freedom, companionship.

This blog is my attempt to document, preserve and reflect on the ordinary and the breathtaking in each day. It began as a diary based on my walking practise around Brunswick West in 2009, and continues (together with walking: we're still here) as a place to occasionally publish my 2D and 3D works.
I am Inari, a migrant from Finland and a multidisciplinary artist & designer. I live and work in Melbourne, Australia, translating my native relationship with wilderness and changing seasons into objects, images and words inspired by light, clouds and atmospheres in urban environments. Often experimenting with non–precious, industrial materials such as concrete and steel, the core of my practice is revealing beauty within ordinary, everyday things.
