Reykjavik.

In late January 2020 I arrived in Reykjavik.

I had traveled there one year earlier and was so overcome by a feeling that it was my place. For 5 years I had been researching possible places in Iceland to undertake a residency and my week long stay in 2018/19 was a reconnaissance of sorts. I made my mind up at that point and returned home to Australia determined to make it reality. Art work: ‘Thufa’ or Mound 2013, by Icelandic artist Ólöf Nordal. Photograph: Sue Ninham
