Fr\u00edkirkjan<\/strong> : combination photo and stencil screen print.
The free church in Reykjavik looks over the \u2018pond\u2019 of the city and is the second most photographed church after Hallgr\u00edmskirkja. It has also been a music venue during the Iceland Airwaves festival that I have travelled to Iceland for since 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGamla Uppsala II<\/strong> : Ruby Lith stencil screen print
I originally assumed this was an old church, but couldn\u2019t find any information online,so I emailed the tourist office who provided some background information “The belfry in Gamla Uppsala dates back to the 17th century. It was given its present form in 1823, when it was paved with panels and then painted Falu red”. The site of this belfry, adjoining church and surrounding burial mounds have been an important religious and political site since the 3 rd & 4 th C AD, it was even believed to be the burial
site of the Norse God Odin. The screen prints in this series are all unique as I used a random method of applying ink for each print, to give the impression of the northern lights behind the belfry. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHallgr\u00edmskirkja<\/strong> : Ruby Lith stencil screen print: this concrete Church presides over Reykjavik and in said to be inspired by the basalt columns found all over Iceland. We once took shelter here during a bad \u2018storm\u2019 (hurricane force winds without the hurricane!). People often mistake the image for a lighthouse due to my artistic interpretation of beams of light emitting from behind the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About Karen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
My first trip to the Nordic countries was in 2010 and since then I\u2019ve visited numerous times especially Iceland. I am fascinated by the \u2018Nordic style\u2019 of architecture, in particular wooden churches, which are in stark contrast to the stone and stained glass of central Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
