Beginning August 20, 2017 in conjunction with the artists residencies at Þórsmörk, we installed 20 plexiglass tiles around Neskaupstaður. These tiles were created for the residents, young and old. They contain pictograms created by the artists and inspired by the stories they were told and experienced during their stay. The artists found themselves looking closely at the history of the town as well as the rich natural flora and fauna of the fjord. The tiles serve as reminders to look closer. The goal was to reward the viewer with a pleasant surprise. Like finding a blueberry patch on a warm sunny day. Or the tiles can become a scavenger hunt throughout the town.
