Earth Portraits
Earth portraits is an ongoing series that reminisce about an absent world of a natural objects where desolation was anticipated. Figurative and lyrical work is presented in a post-apocalyptic context, like ghosts that haunt our memory.
The mundane natural objects of a fictitious (futures) past become ethereal, archetypal relics.
The distance makes the mountains blue is an Icelandic phrase that reflects the artists' concept in a nutshell. Our memory of objects, places and people become obscured with time and distance, and sometimes even gain increased merit when dematerialized/extinct.
The color application and depiction of objects pay tribute to the over sentimental and theatrical ambiance..

The piece represents the distance between the two places, in space and time.
The two photos are images of two different places on earth that are very far from each other. Despite their very different location and climate they are so similar. Like many places they have their similarities and differences. They are like relatives that remind me of each other.
The images are a documentation of a moment in time when I am reminded of the other place.
When one image of a place becomes stronger- the other one fades into the background, like how our memory tends to operate.
