Dive deeper into the world of Finnish artist Kustaa Saksi with his latest monograph, "Kustaa Saksi: Cosmos." This edition is an exquisite exploration of his innovative textile art created between 2012 and 2023, showcasing a pivotal period in his artistic journey.

Kustaa's tapestries are renowned for their vibrant, hypnotic qualities. Each piece weaves a complex narrative, blending the boundaries between the tangible and the fantastical, consciousness and dreaming, chaos and order. His works are a testament to the power of textiles as a medium for storytelling, where traditional techniques meet contemporary artistry.

The monograph is beautifully complemented by Jussi Puikkonen's stunning photography, which captures the intricate details and rich textures of Kustaa’s tapestries, bringing them to life on the page. These images allow the reader to appreciate the depth and physicality of the textiles, offering a near-tactile experience.

Insightful essays by Jessica Hemmings, a renowned textile scholar, and Niina Tanskanen, an art critic, delve into the themes and techniques present in Kustaa’s work. Their writings explore the dualities in his tapestries and the personal and universal narratives intertwined within the threads.
