More than 2 million beads glued on a Volkswagen!

2 families of four, 9000 hours, over 2 million beads: A 'Vochol', Volkswagen beaded by the Huichol people of west-central Mexico.

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.
