I was part of a collaborative working group preparing an exhibition, ‘Philosophical Garden’, Heimspekilegur Gar∂ur, in Akureyri, Iceland. That exhibition built up on top of and among the artworks I created during my stay in Akureyri Guest Studio. This pre-exhibition I called ‘Drifted relics’.

I think about Philosophical garden as a collection of different esthetical, political, visual and philosophical phenomena which move with people across the seas. Garden is flourishing on an island in the middle of the sea. The idea will reveal oneself in different places and materials, often drifted on a shore to be found.

Drifted relics, the Chair and the Wandering Staff makes a collection of things that came to me; just those I was looking for. The Braid of my hair I brought with me across the Sea to be part of the tokens of human endeavour.
