TARA KENNEDY

This body of work is made in response to the incredible landscape of Iceland experienced on 2 month long Art Residencies in the north of the country in May 2019 and April 2023. Inspiration came form the awareness of immense space and the endless and continually changing landscape. All the colours of the land have been applied which were very different on both trips. In May Spring colours were appearing and in April Winter was coming to and end with thawing snow starting to reveal glimpses of subdued colour.

Icelandic materials have been used including wool, raw sheep’s wool, fish skins and horse hair.
