Back to Iceland in 2013

I applied this week for a place on a residency in Iceland, with the proposed time of July 2013 and I'm delighted to say that my application was successful. This time I'm going to Olafsfjordur, it's about 3 hours North-East of Skagastrond, to work on the Listhus Artist Residency. I applied for a 1 month duration and I'm already looking forward to going back to Iceland, if I'm honest I can't wait, I haven't stopped thinking about the place since I got home to Ireland.

I've proposed to work on the residency as a research period and try to get some momentum behind a few of the planned projects. I find it difficult to pull away from the studio work from time to time and the planning can take a slight hit because of this. Alongside the planning and research side of the residency I'm hoping to work on a video and hopefully have it complete in time for a screening in Iceland before I leave.
