My residency is November and December so there won't be much daylight but hopefully lots of Northern Lights. It will be fascinating to be there at this time--so very different from anything I have experienced and I look forward to the strangeness.
I will be embroidering during my residency. I have been wanting to devote more focused time on stitching for a few years now and will spend the first month working on a large canvas for the wall instead of metalwork. My embroidery tends to be small scale similar to the size of my jewelry and I want to challenge myself to go big. Then in the second month I will work on jewelry and combine embroidery with metal, working with minimal tools and materials. I am excited to see how the lack of light and the landscape affects my work.

Hi Amy - I have a friend who just did a residency in Iceland - I can put you in contact with her if you would like to hear about it - she's a poet
Thank you, Adrienne!
