Ida Isak Westerberg

Proudly presenting, Ida Isak Westerberg, from Korsträsk, Älvsbyn.

Ida Isak has a degree in hand weaving and art sewing from Handarbetets vänner.

During the time at Ricklundgården, Ida Isak has been looking for different sides in herself;

“- Sides I haven’t found before, in history, in the ground, in the views and the body. I’ve tried techniques I haven’t used, sun-dyed with plants from specific places and woven with things I found. I have explored new expressions, what rests and what can emerge when I give it time and space.”

When asked how her experience was here at Ricklundgården, the answer was;

“- It has been an important time. I have learned a lot about myself and those who came before me. Challenged in new color themes and given time to discover and feel. The environment and the people in the area were very welcoming and I felt at home straight away. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have spent July in Saxnäs – the world’s luxury!”

We are very happy and grateful for the time that Ida Isak has been here and we have enjoyed her presence and company!! 💚

Afternoon coffee

Afternoon coffee

This Thursday will be the premiere of our afternoon coffee sessions!

In addition to coffee, these times will also contain cultural elements, it will of course vary depending on the season, what else we are working on educationally or which artists work in our residence.

Keep an eye on our channels! We announce artist presentations and the like separately, but as far as possible, the idea is that these should also be on Thursdays.

Hope to see you on February 13!

Welcome to Open Studio, Thursday January 23

Welcome to Open Studio, Thursday January 23  in the Annex up at Ricklundgården at 19.00!

Dutch artist Marieke van Rooy, partner of Mangano van Rooy https://www.instagram.com/mangano_vanrooy/, from Amsterdam, wants to share her artistic research on the importance of nature and the individual connection to nature in times when the climate is under pressure.

“This is a newly started research project and Marieke would like to exchange ideas with Kultsjödal residents about our contact with nature, we who live in southern Lapland, after all. The concept of nature on a personal level is closely linked to experiences from childhood, don’t you agree?”
