"Outlook" is a series of photographs shot in Iceland in the fall 2015, where my family and I were temporarily staying. Outside the bedroom window was a lush backyard that I became inspired to photograph. There was a magnetic tablet next to the window with a small watercolour and I got the idea to hang pictures there, both press photos as well as images of relevance to our family. What interested me was the interaction between what was happening in the outside world, in nature, and in our personal lives.

Over these four months the tablet gradually filled, while winter took over the backyard. In that time period I shot 80 photographs and therefore there is only a sample of the work on display. I did a similar project in 2008-2009 which I presented in a handmade artist book that was exhibited in the Reykjavík Museum of Photography, the National Museum of Iceland, and recently at Susan Eley Fine Art in New York.
