Gudny Rosa Ingimarsdottir Portrait
Gudny Rosa Ingimarsdottir works with paper, thread and various water dissolvable materials. The artist creates drawings and paintings made up of several layers which she cuts, peels or carves, before or after assembling them, aiming to get closer to the essence of her materials. Each of these unique pieces has its own geometric structure and exists on the border between abstract and figurative. The work builds itself slowly, sometimes taking years; each line traced or erased has equal value, the remaining elements have the same strength as those removed. Her compositions convey rhythm and silence. Her methodical and meditative work process that takes place inside her studio extends into the exhibition areas, transforming them into breathing spaces.
