'Welcome stranger, I am potato.'
(Shop window, Tokyo)
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.
I am represented by Funaki, Melbourne.

Good to have you back!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are sensational as always. They transport me (not always comfortably, but this is a good thing because I feel alert to indescribable possibilities when looking at them. Strange feeling, but a sign of brilliant photography.)
I am loving this series, Inari. Thanks so much for posting. x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Glad to have caught up on your life, also, via the web! Loved the feeling of your Sydney visit, sorry about the flood situation though. That image of the new home / old garage was full of hope and looks great.
ReplyDeleteThese LA photos feel strange, because when there, I felt I couldn't really take any pictures as I was too strung on adrenalin and too alert because of the nature of our visit and the emotions Santa Monica holds for me, so I could just look, not concentrate.
These few snapshots (which took me some months to look at, and process) are an interesting insight of how I remember things, and what actually was taken into the camera on the rare moments I did press the button. The pictures I take, I think, begin really as very ordinary snaphots, nothing brilliant about them -- it's the "post production" (selecting, possibly altering the tone or contrast) that allows me to ask how I remember a certain situation, and then work towards a mode; how the picture could express that. That's all.
Lots of love to you, will keep in touch thru the ether : )

Thank you Sally, too!
ReplyDeleteAs I said above, it only now appears that indeed the images from last summer are a series. Or maybe it is the action of sorting, selecting, and carefully putting in order that makes a story - like a dream, or as we say, a memory - a conditional, subjective picture of something. These photos are news to me too, in other words. It took some time to look and play with them, to place them in that order. And as you can see, I'm still skirting around the big 'O' event - not sure how to show that, but working on it. We can't even watch the recorded ceremony yet : D
Hope you guys are going well. Easter used to be a gateway to spring, in Finland - so strange to have it in autumn now here.
Lots of love and a big hug to all your family.

Hei Esa.
ReplyDeleteSiita on pitka aika kun viimeksi kuulin Suomen kielta hienossa muodossa, "toivottavasti et pahastu". Sanojesi sointu toi muistoja mieleen : )
En pahastu, oletan etta kuvien lainaajat kertovat lainasta minulle ja liittavat nimeni niiden yhteyteen. Korukuvia leijuu netissa paljon, talla kaavalla, muista valokuvista en ole varma. Siispa copyright-huomautus bloginin oikealla reunalla.
Katselen viela sinun blogiasi vahan lisaa ja kommentoin sitten siella enemman - tosi mielenkiintoinen kokoelma kuvia ja tekstia nain ensisilmayksella. Oli mukava loytaa se kommenttisi kautta.
Ystavallisin terveisin
Inari
