Artist Residency

Blonduos, Iceland. August 2021.

I’ve always been interested in the concept of place and home, and this idea often makes its way back into my work. My time at the residency was spent researching different local dye plants to extract colour from. With modifiers, I was able to achieve a nice range of surprisingly bright shades.

I wanted to use these colours to dye Icelandic wool and practice different kinds of weaving, which is relatively new for me. Without focusing too much on the result, the pieces are more an exploration in technique and serve as a reflection of a unique and breathtaking landscape. 

This project was supported by Canada Council for the Arts.
