M谩lfr铆冒ur A冒alsteinsd贸ttir: Stemning / Atmosphere
M谩lfr铆冒ur A冒alsteinsd贸ttir is deeply connected to nature, from the smallest details to the grand, majestic, and beautiful. Using traditional handicrafts, she embroiders drawings that she hopes will evoke reflections in the viewer.
A冒alsteinsd贸ttir has moved out of Oslo and settled by the fjord, surrounded by the forest. The forest has become important to her, both as a source for inspiration, but also as a source of materials for plant-based dyeing. She roams the forest, mountains, and sea, observing changes in nature. The Icelandic landscape she originates from consists of green valleys, barren and rugged mountain terrain, wide expanses, glaciers, and black sand. Now, she feels that the forest is her element. The boundary between civilization and nature is changing rapidly, and untouched natural areas are shrinking. Human activity requires space and is altering the environment and the living conditions for an increasing number of species. The mighty and beautiful glaciers, which are sources of fresh water for the planet, are shrinking. Wetlands are being drained and excavated, ancient forests are disappearing, and clear-cutting is destroying biodiversity.
