'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.

did you walk through the huge 'forest cemetery' on Koyasan..? wonderful place
ReplyDeleteYes indeed we did, that was one of the highlights of the trip. Could have easily spent several days there. Thank you for your comment, glad to hear from others who've been to Koyasan and appreciated the place.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we stayed at the same 'temple inn' that you did... In the morning we attended their fire ceremony when they burned lots of pieces of wood (with writing on?). Strong memories! I remember walking high up in the mist on Koyasan, hearing the uguisu bird making its distinctive call... an extremely atmospheric moment.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Where do you come from, and was it your first time in Japan (in case you're not Japanese)? : )
ReplyDeletewell i'm english (which is where we live) but my wife is japanese, so we generally come here (outskirts of tokyo) every summer, which is where we are now! it's great to have a family rooted in 2 very different cultures - but it does mean we never really get to visit anywhere else..!
ReplyDeleteHehe I know what you mean about the holidays : ) Tokyo in summer must be amazing, hope you're enjoying your time there. Thanks for your comments!
