Inspired by Iceland
- • All Anna's work is inspired by the unique Icelandic countryside
- • Her recent artworks express the climate changes affecting Iceland
- • To Anna, a well made work always shows the emotions of the artist
Textile artist Anna Gunnarsdóttir lives and works in Akureyri, an important port and fishing centre in northern Iceland. Anna combines traditional Icelandic felt making techniques with a contemporary and fresh approach, having developed her own way of felting, characterised by a strong Scandinavian and minimalist style. She uses solely wool coming from Iceland sheep, a local breed with a unique fleece. Anna's work is based on the idea of light and shadow, and she creates large sculptures and 3D wall pieces for both indoor and outdoor use. She has gained international recognition for her sculptural work, which has been exhibited across the globe from Australia to the US, the UK, Germany, Sweden and France.
