Handgerdir Minjagripir - Selfmade Souvenirs. Textilsir Island August 25th - 27th 2017
Handgerdir Minjagripir - Selfmade Souvenirs. Artist residencies provide the opportunity to immerse oneself in another environment and by doing so, re-invigorate ones curiosity about materials, techniques and ideas. This residency at the Icelandic Textile Centre, Blondous provided a relatively uninterrupted stretch of time whereby experiments were made, ideas tested and observations recorded. My time in Blondous culminated in a group exhibition at the at Kvennaskolinn residence. Textilsetur - Icelandic Textile Centre, Blonduos. Embroidered map of Blönduós , Iceland.
