WEATHERSCAPES
Weatherscapes is an artwork series exploring the relationship of the weather and the landscape as it relates to human scale. Weather­—fog, lightning, rain, ice, clouds—inhabits the otherwise vast abstract space between the body and the distant horizon. Weatherscapes capture a more compact environment, one that the body can engage with physically, creating a continuous and intimate ensemble between the body, the weather and the landscape. Weatherscapes was captured during the summer of 2008, when with my partner Adam Eeuwens we spent an art residency at the Gunnar Gunnarsson Institute, located in Skriduklaustur, in the Fljótsdalur Valley near Egilsstadir in the east of Iceland.
