Blönduós

During my residency at the Icelandic Textile Centre, I created large-scale, movable sculptures—both woven on and off the loom—using local materials such as wool, N1 cotton threads, and foraged plant fibers. These sculptural weavings engage with space, both in the wilderness and within the gallery walls. They are complemented by smaller, daily responses—embroidered, woven, and drawn—that reflect my ongoing learning and experience throughout the residency.
