Exhibitions

Part of the exhibition "Undir berum himni = Under the open sky"
Great pictures of the Warp of Fate that a friend, Ólafur Jón took. It has already rained and been windy so Warp has survived so far. I am very pleased that this piece is where it is and very thankful to the owner of the house that kindly let me have holes drilled into her precious house to be able to mount the warp.
It is of importance that the Warp of Fate is situated at Urðarstígur named by Urður or Urd one of the three  Norns of Destiny in  old Norse mythology. Urður for past , Verðandi for present and Skuld for the future.
In Iceland we should be able to learn from the mistakes of the past. Unfortunately barely the majority of voters in Iceland have have in this year 2013 given us back the people that made it possible for Iceland to go bankrupt 5 years ago!  The governing forces of Iceland are now arrogant people who will not learn from their fellows' mistakes.
I span the wool during the winter of the financial collapse of Iceland, 2008-09 and warped it.

I am very concerned about the Icelandic goat race and have wanted for quite a while to make art for the goats. Part of my concept is to make art from discarded material. The goat works are made from the coarse hair of goats, material that is left when it has been dehaired from the cashmere that is a desired material. Also discarded wooden boards and old desk tops. The name of the work is The Last Goat of Iceland. That would be the most frightful thing, if the goats vanish from earth because humans can't take care of precious things.
Very satisfying.
