Text by curator Ásthildur Jónsdóttir:

“Sigrún Hrólfsdóttir explores visible and invisible forces at play in the world.  With focus on emotional, biochemical, and ecological dimensions of living systems, she approaches landscape, particularly mountains, as living bodies shaped by pressure, time, and endurance. In her work, land is not a backdrop but a sensing entity, mirroring human vulnerability and strength. Her abstract paintings draw on the quiet persistence of mountainous forms as symbols of care, resistance, and survival. Central to her feminist perspective is the idea of cooperation and conductivity between elements, exemplified by a uterus and mountains crocheted from copper thread. The forms evoke life giving capacities and protection, while copper’s conductivity gestures toward connection, empathy, and interdependence between human and more-than-human worlds, revealing how environments, and social structures are intimately entangled.”

Works by artists Anna Rún Tryggvadóttir, Hildur Hákonardóttir
and Sigrún Hrólfsdóttir were on view at this time, in three separate spaces, at the residence of the Icelandic Ambassador in Helsinki, Finland.
