Information about the artist / the group

I am a textile designer and visual artist from Helsinki. I work in my studio designing patterns and Illustrations for my own brand Mary a. jalava and for other companies. Mary a. jalava is a one-woman accessory brand that has become known for its printed tights that delight the street scene. Mary a. jalava's products are hand-printed using the silk-screen method.

I design all the sketches for my patterns by hand. I like to experiment with different techniques and materials. I am particularly attracted to the slow and meditative paper cutting technique.

I get inspired by everything I see around me, such as architecture, urban nature and maps. I enjoy wandering around my hometown in Helsinki, looking at and feeling the colors, houses and details.

Program during Konstrundan
