Artist Statement:
Kaarina Talvila
I’ve arrived at my practice along a different route from most designers. With a BSc in Geology and a career in software development, I take an engineering approach to design. I explore shapes and structures and enjoy solving the construction challenges inherent in producing such architectural shapes from silk.
I also love having the opportunity to introduce elements from my two favourite design styles. Art Deco lends its geometry and precision, while the Japanese aesthetic contributes its sense of minimalism and balance.
My label ‘KOTI’ means ‘home’ in Finnish, which is a tribute to my Finnish mother, who taught me how to sew and to maintain exacting standards.
I work out of my home studio in Vancouver BC Canada and am the sole designer and maker of all KOTI Designs pieces.
