Love, anger, joy, even indifference--all of these have found expression in art, but what about something as humble as contentment? Given enough time and space, Kaljo was able to get the job done. During a residency at the Nordic Center for Contemporary Art in Finland, Kaljo began to feel guilty about being given a large studio meant for a sculptor. After weeks of social and creative lethargy, all she had to show for her stay was having become sensitive to the passage of light through a set of clerestory windows. Kaljo nevertheless felt good about herself. So good, in fact, she was able to forgive the misogyny of Bob Dylan's song Just Like A Woman and turn it into an homage to herself.
