I’m a multidisciplinary artist, facilitator and a costume designer. In my emerging artistic practice I use textiles, video and text as means of storytelling. My work takes shape through embodied and situated practices grounded in listening and responsiveness to the environment. Drawing from posthuman feminist phenomenology, transcorporeality and new materialism I wish to convey embodied attunement and moments of enchantment through my art, while considering the complexities of living on a damaged planet.
I hold a master’s degree in Fashion, Clothing, and Textile Design from Aalto University (2018) and my work has been supported by the Finnish Cultural Foundation, the Arts Promotion Centre Finland, Kone Foundation, and The Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture.
Currently I’m studying in the transdisciplinary Master’s Degree Programme of Visual Cultures, Curating and Contemporary Art at Aalto University and will graduate in autumn 2026.
