The month of March 2026 was spent at an artist residency with Fish Factory in a small fishing village called Stöðvarfjörður in the East Fjords of Iceland. 

During this time my practice helped ground me. I would make marks of the beautifully unfamiliar landscape of the mountains and ocean, and the blurred snow scape from the minibus window en route to get groceries from Bónus. My writing practice became integral to my image making process and sparked a series of lino prints inspired by morning alarm of Redpolls, an encounter with a raven and Icelandic horses whose ears poked the mountain tops. 

Having the time to solely mark art, be still, and be in awe every waking second, allowed to create from a place of instinct and curiosity and led me to put these prints out into the world, and kickstart a web shop for my prints to be in the hands of people.
