Til Íslands presents images of dislocation and reconnection with the Icelandic landscape after over a century of separation. In the summer of 2025, I returned to the land left behind by my great-great-grandmother in 1888, documenting the delicate experience of becoming reacquainted with a landscape and people in the midst of dramatic environmental change. Til Íslands features work created at my family’s farm on Lake Apavatn, and at the Nes Artist Residency in Skagaströnd; still and moving images, phytograms of plants, seaweed, and wool, and a quilt naturally dyed with lupine, rhubarb, and lichen each reflect impressions of the Icelandic landscape and identity.
This project was generously funded by the Cassilhaus Biennial Travel Fellowship.
