The body of work “Mountain Streams” was produced in the
northernmost part of Iceland during the region's long winter. The
work is a response to the meditative landscape of this remote
area, at a time of year when it is reduced to an almost
indiscernible white space. Only hinting at scale and form, the
terrain is cut through by blue mountain streams that start as a
trickle, then grow in size, shape, and character as they meander
down through the fjords on their way to the Arctic Ocean.
