About the work
Kirsi Pirhonen’s Pako (2025) combines recycled metal, steel, yarn and recycled textiles in a 40 × 40 × 10 cm sculptural work, presented in Before the Gesture in Palmer Room.
The materials also include recycled stuffing and thread. A soft yarn form sits within a metal frame.
Pirhonen’s practice explores contrasts between soft sculptural forms and colder, heavier materials, alongside reused clothing and homeware textiles, sewn fringes and crocheted yarn. That context offers a way into Pako through material, reuse and tactile associations.
