NORTHERN ARTIST
Mia Hamari (b. 1976)
I use wood in my works, adding different materials out of nature, like
ponytails, deerlegs, eyelashes or hair. Smaller figures are made of bronze,
also combined to wood, bone, glass or metal.
The ideas for my figures come
from my subconscious, past life and dreams. Coincidences have a great role in
the beginning too .
