Residency artists and researchers Sculpture, installation art Marjo Kanervo Artist I have worked as a visual artist form over thirty years. Although I trained as a painter, my work is comprised of installations and sculptures. I have a major exhibition coming up, which will include some older works of mine as well. I hope to get off to a good start on the new works for the exhibition while at the Saari Residence. My main task will be transforming some of my long-term ideas into a major new work. In addition, I will make the most of the freedom offered by the residency to sketch out the overall shape of my exhibition, and to plan and draft several new works. I feel sure the coming three months at Saari will give me the peaceful environment I need.
