Inari Kiuru — 'Childhood Lake and Sky IV', Necklace, 2025

The 'Childhood Lake and Sky' series is a part of Midwinter, Midsummer body of work investigating the artist’s personal heritage and Finnish seasonal traditions. The enamelled, sugar-fired pendants echo Kiuru’s early sensory memories of water, light and clouds on a small beach close to her family home in Southern Karelia. Two of the pieces have sand from lake Saimaa embedded in their surface, collected during the artist’s recent residency to document the environment she grew up in.
