Statement
I photograph the places in the north where very little happens, slowly.
A tide that does not move. A valley the fog has kept. Ice that took a thousand winters to arrive and will leave in an afternoon. I work with long exposures and longer waiting, and I return to the same shores for years, because the second visit is the one that teaches you how to look.

The colour that has no name
Notes from the black beach below Jökulsárlón, where the tide returns the glacier piece by piece, and the light passes through ice for an hour each day.
