Proudly presents

15 May, 2022

Patrica, Ilar, Anna-Karin

Proudly presents Patricia Roda’s from Tölby, 15 km south of Vaasa Finland, Ilar Gunilla Persson, now living in Bagarmossen outside Stockholm (but originally from Dalarna) and Anna-Karin Jansson who lives in Stockholm, Bagarmossen.

Patricia has a bachelor’s degree in photography and has worked as a photo artist and photographer for almost 20 years.

In my photographic art, I try to highlight societal issues in a conceptual way. For several years I have worked with the theme of violence in relationships and the healing process. I really believe that the private is political. I work analog, ie take pictures on film with a 4 × 5 inch camera. ”

– The stay at Ricklundgården was magical. The proximity to the magnificent nature and the daily sight of the mountain peaks opened up the vein of creativity in me. Grateful!”

Ilar Gunilla has a bachelor’s degree in photography from a university in Finland. Also has a polytechnic degree in Pre-press information production from the University of Gothenburg.

My art could be described, abstract images, thundering landscapes with installations, political social art mixed with Nordic mysticism. I work with things close to me to touch, question and hopefully influence. ”

When asked what the experience at Ricklundgården was like, Ilar Gunilla answers:

“- Fantastic! what an experience – a combination of art and skiing. That Patricia and I had the opportunity to continue working on our Nordess project was superb. ”

Anna-Karin has a paid job as a nurse, most recently in palliative care. For a period she devoted all her time to developing painting at Gerlesborgsskolan and later she started working at night to continue painting.

“- I work with charcoal, pastel and acrylic. Above all, coal is important in my creation. Much of what I do has a connection to the underworld, the root nests and headstrong nature. ”

“People’s studio gave me peace of mind and a space I longed for and the view is enchanting. Almost so that you have to be on your guard so as not to get completely lost in the ever-changing magnificent mountain view. ”

Many thanks to MC Coble & Simon Gripenberg for your personal, honest, interesting and generous artist presentations yesterday!

We heard about exclusion, threats of violence, not feeling at home in your body, the path to new life, the power of nature as a way to feel good and see life from a different perspective. We heard about climate change, actively protesting and standing up for your opinion, changing career choices later in life and a little about what it is like to belong to the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland called Finland Swedes.

The day ended with a guided tour of the museum by visiting visitors from Västernorrland!
Also with us on the tour were two students from @academyoffinearts_umea

EMMAS’ art education workshop has become a natural meeting place and complements the residency activities at Ricklundgården incredibly well. EMMAS makes it possible for us to arrange outreach activities and workshops even if all studios are occupied. It is not always desirable for an artist living with us to invite people to their studio while work is in progress, nor is our museum always suitable for various public events. It is nice not to have to choose, we can both have residency accommodation in all studios, guided tours in the museum and activities at EMMAS that require a different accessibility and freedom of choice in how the activities are carried out / implemented or need to be open!
