Ines Kalliala

Ines Kalliala has also created her collection from something she holds dear, like lying on grass, scent of the sea, climbing on a rock, picking up a shell on a holiday and putting it in my pocket. Her collection is a study of the relationship of a person and their clothes, its symbiotic nature and how clothing connects to the concepts of time and identity. This work is about feelings, how they are stored in clothes and how they can be evoked through the act of getting dressed.
