Fara og Koma 2 / Coming and Going: 2
An Artist’s Journey in Iceland

The paintings shown in Fara og Koma 2 are based on two months spent working at Laxnes horse farm in late winter last year. Some are personal records, diaries with topographical maps showing the farm and surrounding areas with the riding tracks, and fragments of life on the farm; individual horses, family members, the farm vehicles, views from the farm. The larger paintings embody a bigger and more general sense of Iceland, a volcanic island always on the edge. SR09
