Margrét
H. Blöndal makes sculptures and light, fragile installations that respond to one
another and " inhabit " the exhibition space in a subtle poetic balance, like
visual music. She uses everyday material, often found on the spot where she works
; she transforms and combines it to create a dislocation of meaning and an emotional
jolt. She also writes short and sensitive texts, similar to Expressionist poems,
that reveal, like her sculptures, the fragmentary vision of a world whose dynamics
and organisation are left to the free interpretation of each.
