My work is inspired by the stories and characters in the Finnish folklore epic ‘The Kalevala’. Organic forms and textures found in the Finnish forests and woodlands - where many of these stories take place – are also important source material and I try to replicate these in my work. The fluidity of metal when it is worked suits the concept of my work which is why I choose to use a lot of traditional techniques such as raising, forging and chasing in my pieces.
