Helmi Nieminen b.1997, FI<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Working with a wide range of materials, I create imaginary worlds inhabited by animals and fictional characters. My practice moves between drawing and large-scale textile sculptures, combining storytelling and material exploration with cuteness and anarchic joy. Through playful installations, my characters and sculptures come together and invite the viewer inside my universe. Colour, softness and play allow me to approach difficult emotions such as anger and uncertainty.<\/p>\r\n
