m// have a look at the artwork by my friend and melbourne based artist JEWELS STEVENS. she recently did an artist in residence in REYKJAVIK and produced these wonderful pieces as a result. I love her interpretation of the spectacular ISLANDIC LANDSCAPES and the colours applied to it. the islandic people are strong believers of fairies and the spirit world, and have great respect for everything found around their surroundings and land. jewels also crochets around rocks and pebbles, which i guess could be a response to this; a way of protecting and respecting nature, the little fairies and everything we can't see with the naked eye, but that are coexisting with humans and sharing nature with us. jewels may do her next artist residency in NORWAY. i can't wait to see her interpretations and findings there! her website is still under construction, but click on the title to see more work from this series.
