Inari Kiuru is a Finnish-born, Bulleke-Bek/Brunswick-based multidisciplinary artist, designer and a mother of two young children. The key themes in Kiuru's work arise from an intrinsic longing for a connection with nature, reflecting her Scandinavian background. Kiuru works experimentally with non-precious, industrial materials such as concrete, steel and enamel, and her photographs and installations often focus on the unexpected beauty in the mundane and the discarded. Kiuru's jewellery, objects and images are frequently exhibited nationally and internationally, and have been acquired by public collections in Australia and overseas. Kiuru has Honours degrees in Visual Communication (Curtin 2002) and Fine Art: Object Design (RMIT 2013) and is represented by Funaki.
