Prophetess mountain

2013-15
Chromogenic prints from negative. Neon.
Some images exhibited at Kings ARI, Melbourne, 2013 and Bus Projects, Melbourne 2014.
Spákonufell, the prophetess mountain of Þordis, in Skagaströnd, Iceland.
The unique outline of this looming rock, holding at bay a potent mystical power, casts a strange energy over people in Skagaströnd. There’s no place in town that it cannot be seen, and it changes size and colour in the shifting light.
