Helsinki, Finland.

17 pieces

Helsinki is pale and calm and surrounded by water. A white cathedral on a flight of steps above the market square, granite and pastel fronts, ferries going out to the islands, and a sea that freezes hard enough to walk on. The light is low and long, and for a few weeks it barely arrives at all. Saunas are ordinary rather than a treat, and people go from one straight into the sea. The pieces here keep that coolness and come as prints, ornaments, coasters and more.
