I went West, and from the West I went south. This is a collection of photos taken during autumn 2021 and winter 2022 in the Icelandic Westfjords. Some were taken and developed with local seaweed during a group residency. Others were taken when stayed in the Westfjords to teach at the University Centre of the Westfjords in Ísafjörður. They reflects on the remoteness of Iceland’s Westfjords, where harsh weather and isolation shape daily life. The work searches for a dialogue between material, place, and being.
