Inari Kiuru — 'The sound of a river in early spring', Neckpiece, 2025

$1,400

'The sound of a river in early spring' continues the artist's recent body of work inspired by her native Finland.

The neckpiece consists of two parts which can also be worn individually: a golden long chain ending in droplets, like sunlight on water, and the other with a strong contrast in tones, woven from shapes resembling trees with bare branches, or thin sheets broken ice. Fabricated from lightly coloured glass capillary tubes, the piece is fragile and almost weightless, but has a strong audible presence. When worn, its layers move with the wearer and remind them about the power of a seasonal change.

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.
