We are very happy to be able to say this!! The Westfjords Residency is a project we have been dreaming about ever since we arrived in Thingeyri in 2005 and stated rebuilding our house.
In the month of February 2016, we hosted a Lithuania-Icelandic artist exchange program called "Questioning Arts".
For my project, I planned to return to working with the fiber techniques that I had used when I first started making art in undergraduate and graduate school, but taken in a new direction.
On Monday May 11th—day 3 at the Westfjords Residency— I read in the New York Times that the Obama Administration had granted Shell conditional approval to drill for oil and natural gas off the Alaskan coast.
My theme is how to identify the architecture by fundamental manipulation. In other words, my design method is a kind of translation and to extract a specific essence to define the value of contemporary architecture.
