Sini Villi | Small Emerald

Sini Villi (b. 1980) is a textile artist and clothing designer living and working in Helsinki. Villi uses silk to create three-dimensional textile wall sculptures by hand. The visual language of the textile sculptures draws its inspiration from Villi’s childhood in Northern Finland, by the vast natural landscape. Every autumn large fields were plowed, forming softly rhythmic grooves that created a visually interesting and soothing surface. Sini Villi’s textile sculptures are based on a similar continuous cycle of nature that can be seen both in the rippling of the water surface and in the annual rings of the tree.
