I am a visual artist working in photography and installation. I am from the United States where I live in northern Vermont. My work here in Iceland has focused around the Icelandic spar, a stone that was used by Vikings to navigate the Arctic seas. This stone allows for expanded vision through the double-refraction of light. During this time, I have traveled the area, taking photographs, video, and sound clips, while also working in the studio with a flatbed scanner, scanning and creating stills and short animations with the spar.
