Iceland
A trip to Iceland in the summer of 2022 was a life-changing event. The incredible landscape, filled with glaciers, waterfalls, lava fields and basalt columns was the impetus for this series. I have never seen green with the same intensity as in Iceland, and the vernacular architecture from crumbling out buildings and turf houses to stark village churches captivated me.
While almost all of my work is abstract, this is my first foray in to representational work- albeit more gestural than literal.
