May 2009

Thirty four photos in a mixer from the month of May.  

I was in Art Residency in Nes, Skagaströnd, North Iceland.   

Came home with few hundred photographs and fond memories 

of meeting interesting international artist and the local hosting people.

The pictures of the people come later.  

This is about the inspiration of the nature and findings and the 'play'.  

In other words, the art-work in making. 

Upon arraival, my plan was to work on a project called "The Abstract 

of The Homes".   But after visiting a fish skin factory in Sauðárkrókur,

and the intimacy with the rocky beach, the ever-blowing wind and all

the other textures belonging to the fishing village of Skagaströnd.

Also the "rabbabari" (rhubarb) growing in front of the residency house.

The media I used apart from the camera is fish-leather for sculpture

and fashion inspiration.  Rocks for architectural studies plus, plus.

Katalin Meixner and Valdis Oskarsdottir took the photographs of me, thank you!
