Miia Liesegang
Suunnittelutoimisto Innollinen
Naantali, Southwest Finland
I am Miia Liesegang, a designer and visual artist. I work with public and semi-public art and design, creating commissioned works, awards and miniature sculptures for various spaces and purposes. During my visual arts studies, I specialised in public art, and I am particularly interested in how art can become a natural part of everyday environments and create experiences.
I approach projects conceptually and from a human-centred perspective. I listen to the space, its users and the client's goals, and strive to translate the underlying stories, values and needs into visual and experiential entities. My work combines site-specificity, material sensitivity and an understanding of the big picture. Art has intrinsic value for me, but it is also a means of strengthening the identity of spaces, increasing interest and supporting well-being. In public art, I am particularly interested in accessibility and community: I want to create works that are approachable and appeal to different people regardless of their background or previous relationship with art. I work in a multidisciplinary way and consider collaboration to be a key part of the process.
