    The residency allowed me to focus on my art practice and helped me to push my art practice into new territory.

    It was also rewarding to engage with the collaborative exchanges that occurred between the other international artists residing there at the time.

    My research of the town of Haukivuori and its food distribution and production was the impetus for a series of installations. Of the two major works I developed during this period – one was presented in a public street in Haukivuori and the other was exhibited at the gallery of Saksala ArtRadius.

    I believe the isolated and serene environment of Haukivuori as well as the clean and modern rooms of Saksala ArtRadius enabled a clearer direction in my work.
