Chinese Artist Xu Yun writes about her residency in Tjörn

"One month on the island of Tjörn and my life is entering a new state, it is really peaceful. I learned to enjoy the slower pace of life. In Beijing, I asked myself: Do you sometimes feel like you are in such a hurry that you can’t get anything done?” Well, I was prepared to take the challenge for three months, alone, no driving and not doing my teaching work, only concentrating on doing my art work. In fact, in life we always have to study and learn. I spent almost a week and I‘ve learned a lot about not to multitask – to concentrate on doing one thing also took about 10 days. I learn how to deal with the snow and ice, and to use the ice for my own work are these days' lessons. Now I feel the boring slow-paced days appear to pass faster. Now I have a lot of new ideas every day." Xu Yun
