HEIDI HANKANIEMI













TEXTILE / CONCEPTUAL ART

Heidi's practice incorporates the tactile and the performative, ultimately arriving at a body of work that is both spiritual and deeply grounded in the handmade and physical.
Julia Harris, Textile Arts Center New York

By cutting, reconstructing, and hand-sewing these materials into larger installations, Hankaniemi breathes new life into forgotten handiworks. The act of sewing becomes a conversation between past and present, maker and material.
