Meeting with Taava Koskinen

Today we met  with Finnish art critic and art historian Taava Koskinen.  She came up to Kent House and sat down with us to discuss the residency and our work.  
We moved around to each artist's studio space to look at the progress of their work and discuss their ideas. It was interesting to gain insight into each artist's body of work, as well as a new perspective from Taava. 
Following the critiques, we sat down for some more discussion, followed by a photo shoot.  These are the first images of the six artists together, which will be used in an article Taava will be writing for a Finnish  art publication.
