"Valleys - Hills - Handcrafts", Group exhibtion in the old agricultural school in Ólafsdalur,  in west Iceland.

The Spinning Machine in Olafsdalur, intervention. 2009.

The spining maching in the old farm school in Ólafsdalur has been unused for 50 years. My pice for this exhibition was to fix the spinning machine so it could be used to spin yarn again. I dyed the yarn in Njóli, a plant widely found in the west of Iceland and knit a pair of long johns. In the exhibition I showed the progress and product from this action.
