IN THE WINDOW OF THE ODD GALLERY
blóm + blód
(Icelandic for "flowers + blood")
Whitefeather Hunter, Canada, 8 min
In the landscape as laboratory/ studio. The artist
navigates the autumnal terrain of Norðdurland vestra
(Northwestern Iceland), collecting natural dye and
fibre stuffs, using landscape elements as tools for
making and experimenting with flora and fauna in
the creation of a textile work. The end (textile) result
is never shown, the emphasis being on process as
the creative work in focus, and the acquisition of new
knowledge as one of the results.
A big thank you to the
Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in people on
whose traditional lands
we hold this festival.
Mahsi Cho!
