Mari Nurmenniemi works with textiles, plants, text, video, and spatial installation. Rooted in family histories of farming, intergenerational burdens, and the entanglements among soil, plants, chemicals, and bodies, her work unfolds through site-responsive, and temporally attuned processes. Currently, Nurmenniemi is studying in the Master’s Programme in Visual Cultures, Curating and Contemporary Art at Aalto University.
Her works have been exhibited at the TextielMuseum in the Netherlands, the Craft Museum of Finland and during the past year at HIAP Gallery Augusta and Galleriaia in Helsinki. Nurmenniemi also holds a degree in Fashion, Clothing and Textile Design (MA) and works as a costume designer for contemporary performances.
