Hanna Marno (b. 1981) is a sculptor and environmental artist who works and lives in Siikainen, Northern Satakunta. During the last few years of living in a small village in the countryside of Finland, her diet has consisted of larch dust during breakfast and lunch. After a hard day of work, her dinner is more versatile: a portion of chalk for the muscles, aspen for the blood and titanium oxide so she could see better. For supper she enjoys a cup of rye varnish and graphite porridge, because it gives the night a shelter. Dog friend Mauri supervises the portions behind his bowl of delicatessen.
In her art, Marno observes landscapes, communities, power structures, their materialities and multilangualisms proposing clashes of different environments. What is the glue that binds us after all, she asks.
Hanna Marno (s.1981, Helsinki) on kuvanveistäjä ja ympäristötaiteilija, joka asuu ja työskentelee Siikaisissa, Satakunnassa. Viimeisten vuosien aikana kyläyhteisössä asuttuaan, hänen ruokavalionsa on koostunut kuusihippusista aamiaisella ja lounaalla. Raskaan päivän jälkeen päivällinen on hieman monipuolisempi: annos liitua lihaksille, haapaa verelle ja kvartsijauhetta, että näkisi paremmin. Illallisella hän nauttii puuroa rukiista ja grafiitista, sillä yö tarvitsee ylleen suojan. Koiraystävä Mauri tarkkailee annoksia herkkukulhonsa takaa.
Teoksissaan Marno tarkastelee maiseman ja yhteisöjen kerrostumia, valtarakenteita, niiden materiaalisuuksia ja monikielisyyksiä ehdottaen eri ympäristöjen kohtaamisia. Mikä onkaan se liima joka meidät yhteen sitoo?
