Sini Villi (b. 1980, Nivala) is a textile artist based in Helsinki, Finland. In her work Villi uses handmade natural ribbon to create three-dimensional textile wall sculptures. The ribbon is layered, sewn and shaped into a sculpture, which, when hardened from within, retains its unique form. The visual language of the textile sculptures draws its inspiration from Sini Villi’s roots in Northern Ostrobothnia, by the vast and silent natural landscape. Every autumn large fields are ploughed, forming softly rhythmic grooves. The colour scheme becomes one-dimensional, but the adjacent shapes create a visually interesting and soothing view. In the spring, life fills the ground again and the colours return.

"I am inspired by the endless layers and spiral patterns of nature. These softly repetitive shapes have been an essential part of my art since the beginning."
