Movable art boutique
Reviver
Reviver is my arts and crafts project, born from a desire to spend less time alone behind my computer and work more with my hands. In 2024, I began making my own paper from old, damaged books donated by Helsinki libraries.
Made by hand
I print my linocut designs by hand on my handmade paper. I also hand-print T-shirts and tote bags using high-quality garments by the Helsinki-based company Pure Waste, made entirely from recycled textile-industry waste.
Made by hand
I continuously create new linocut designs, often inspired by Helsinki. Each design is carved and printed by hand, making every print slightly different. All the frames I use are second-hand, mostly found through tori.fi.
On the move
I built a large bicycle wagon that transforms into a mobile art shop. Since then, I have taken it to a wide range of events around Helsinki. Reviver has also travelled beyond the city, appearing at festivals, markets, and fairs across Finland. These photographs are from the 2025 Nature of Sound festival, taken by Frej Vuori.
Selected events
In the summer of 2024, I spent most of my time with Reviver in Esplanade Park in central Helsinki. I soon learned that the mobile art shop works best as part of events. Since then, Reviver has appeared at a wide range of events across Finland, including:
