"REFLECTIONS"
I´m a textile designer; expressing myself through the language of structures and patterns in my work. I create solutions based on materials, technology, and purpose. I design the character and appearance of the rugs based on my knowledge, experience, and intuition.
The basics of weaving have been passed down through the millennia to the present day.
Modern technology can often simply increase efficiency and ensure consistent quality. However, there are exceptions.
As a designer and developer, I have had the privilege of working with a modern Estonian company where I have taken on the roles of an attentive listener, a craftsman bound by rules, and a passionate designer.

The rugs displayed at the current exhibition are produced at the Narma Lihula rug factory, woven on modern Jacquard looms.
The unique smartWeave® technology developed by Narma enables something that at first glance seems impossible. The result is a multi-layered fabric — a two-sided rug — whose both sides differ in pattern and colour scheme. The cotton yarn used in the fabrics is 100% recycled.
The visual language of present artworks has been inspired by the surrounding environment. The images depicted on the rugs serve as a REFLECTION of the artist’s experience.
The colour gradation of the diamond pattern on KUUSIKU long rugs reflects the image of a forest emerging in the morning mist.
KIRNA floor rug depicts a reed bed casting a shadow on the water’s surface glistening in the sun.
The summer and winter textures found in the moor landscape echo from the sound-absorbing wall panels of NEHATU.
