Cod howls at the Moon, 2022
'The surrealness of Iceland's nature cannot be overstated. My attempts to capture its unusual beauty seem feeble and futile but are nonetheless a compulsion. My forefathers always looked at the landscape as having a personhood. This is a feeling that anyone who has visited Iceland understands since the mountains, glaciers, rivers and rocks feel as if they have a personality of their own. This is something that I try to convey in my work.
The Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek calls Iceland 'the country that God forgot to finish'. I understand this statement but disagree. Iceland is as finished as it should be.'
