Opening Sep 27 Móðurmál/Mother Tongue: Hildur Jónasson explores themes of our relationship to nature at the intersection of the climate crisis, natural phenomena, folklore/mythology and the intangible powers of nature. Jónasson’s Nordic culture of folklore and mythology has a strong influence on her art. Surreal artworks mingle with mythology, acting as a storyteller of the mysteries of the natural world and wild Icelandic landscapes.
