In 2013 I was invited to Nes Residency for the month of April where I researched Icelandic mythology and landscape to create a body of photography and film work. Some of the photography created in residency is below along with a link to a film that was concepted in Iceland and finished in Minnesota. Images taken during my residency in Skagastrond, Iceland are also included.
