"Kivi" Kivi is not stone. It is essentially porcelain. Made with the experimental technique of hammering together particles of coloured clay, material value and properties shift towards an unusual but familiar object. Marbles are often named after the place they are extracted from. Similarly, the patterns and colours a material manifests is closely tied to nature and where it came from. Kivi is tied closely to Finland and the colours manifested in the contrasting Finnish nature.
It embodies a fascination of colour and the ways it can be used functionally in design as opposed to surface decoration. Colours can enhance our perception of environments and objects beyond colour trends and personal taste. The material and means to recreate landscapes is an experimental ceramic forming technique. The final result resembles stone with a twist of impressionism. The technique allows full control over the colour of the final material. While the aim is not to imitate nature it is to capture the essence of a landscape
