Wild clay sculpture made at Hakoniemi is now on display at .helsinki , Helsinki. The clay was sourced near the residence.

Ville Lehvonen - SAIMAA

The work is part of the SAARI series, which explores the layers of memory embedded in the Saimaa archipelago, environmental change, and the human, place-bound emotional connection with nature.

The wild clay used in the ceramic sculpture was collected from the Rääkkylä archipelago, where an alarming drop in the water level has exposed the lakebed. The soil of my native region is presented in its most natural state. As a counterpoint, the work incorporates an industrial, metallic glaze that symbolizes the human footprint left on our environment.

Thank you, our residency artist

”What a gem Hakoniemi is—the perfect place to have spent the last three weeks writing and reading. I’m working on my first novel, which I started writing last year during my Fiction MFA at NYU, and which explores questions of memory, language, and identity. I spent the mornings writing scenes and scribbling strange diagrams of how they might all fit together, and the afternoons reading and translating. And there was also plenty of time for long walks through the woods, bike rides around the archipelago, and evenings in the wood-fired sauna. I’d come back again in a heartbeat 💕”

Welcome to the residency, ! It’s been a joy to watch North Karelia transition towards summer with you 🌱

”The surroundings of Hakoniemi, with its beautiful nature, provide the perfect setting to develop and explore my sculptural textile works. The rhythm of daily life here, time spent in the atelier, long walks in the forest, sauna, and ice swimming, offers relaxation and allowing
me to fully immerse myself and nourish both focus and creativity”

Chris Snik is an Antwerp-based artist and head of the Costume Design Department at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp.
