Sculpture

Textile is the main material on Piia Marias work but she also uses other materials like plaster, clay, polyester and glass. She has a true passion for old crafts like crocheting and embroidery and uses these techniques new and unexpected ways.

Performances

Piia Maria graduated 2001 at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts, The Hague in the Netherlands. She studied fashion and textile and focused in her work on experimental theater, costumes and textile installations. This early work laid the foundation for her spatial and dramaturgic understanding which she has used in her work as a costume and set designer ever since. Although Piia Maria does not give performances anymore, does this creative period still give inspiration for her work today.
