Henna Nuutinen (b. 1990) is an artist & designer working in Lahti, Finland. She is currently working on large ceramic sculptures dealing with themes of fragility and cohesion, reflecting on Nuutinen’s own relationship with nature. She is inspired by organic forms, structures, and colours of nature. Henna’s sculptures are often the result of intuitive construction, where the material guides the end result. The forms are organic and abstract, and are characterised by repetitive branches that eventually converge.
“I believe that art allows us to tell a story within us that we may not yet know ourselves. I feel that doing art is a constant experiment, searching for and discovering something new that is hard to get bored of. Intuitive doing plays a big role in my process. I let the clay show the direction for the construction and I feel like I was most successful when the end result surprises me too.”
