In August of 2008 I was invited to take up a four week residency in The Goldfactory Project Space in Egerton Studios, Oldknows Building, Nottingham.
During the first week, I went over to Iceland to collect first hand research material to bring back to the studio and work from.
It was long standing ambition to visit the country and it did not disappoint. Infact only it only added to the fuel of my passion for the country.
Here is the publication I created to go with final exhibition.

Using my short film LONGITUDE, LATITUDE I have abstracted it to produce a short video piece of about 40 seconds . The idea was to combine lines and muted colours that resonated the series of paintings I did during my residency at the Goldfactory in 2008. I was also holding in my head images of seismic readings and data print out images from NASA.
