What a wonderful conversation with visual artist, Minna Kokko.
Her love for nature and deep appreciation of how we are nature is clear.
Discovering more about what motivates her to create her artwork, and, by doing so, how her work can pose questions relating to the connection and/or disconnection people have to the natural world is fascinating.
Our chat weaves in Japanese culture, trees, calligraphy, Auvers-sur-Oise, Minna's daughter as muse, microscopes, and much more.
