Meeri Tuominen
Nuutajärvi
Summary
I am an visual artist currently studying glassblowing in Nuutajärvi/Notsjö village. I use multiple materials and techniques in my art for example ceramic, painting, drawing and sculpting.
I'm inspired by underwater worlds, aquatic organisms, insects and the decomposition progress of organic material. I wish to make the viewer think about their relationship with nature and themselves through my art.
