Thank you Dave! I think I first flipped it for the consideration of the younger readers : D But yes, maybe it's an idea to observe world from a turned angle now and then. Old things look like new. Cheers to California, hope you're going well.
Oh, I see. It's an upside down image. I was admiring this image, Inari, but couldn't work out what I was looking at. It really is quite startling and almost calls for a whole series.
Hi Dmetri, thank you for your comment and hope you're going well! Maybe I shouldn't have as yet told the image was rotated and leave you pondering for longer : D But yes, it could be interesting to investigate how differently we read an upside down picture. Maybe more freedom in interpretation when the elements aren't so obvious at first? This is the first time I've ever updated the blog from abroad, am currently in London en route to Helsinki - watch for travel updates, will try and post in 'real time'... Cheers x i

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 would like to see a whole gathering of these upside down compositions, beautiful.
