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”

About the artist:
Chris Snik is an Antwerp-based artist and head of the Costume Design Department at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. Her practice has evolved from ”slow costuming” into a sculptural textile practice, where she uses her expertise in tailoring to explore form and craft through autonomous textile pieces.
