HALLGERÐUR HALGRÍMSDÓTTIR
Born on an exceptionally snowy day in 1984 in the capital of Iceland, Reykjavík. Since then she has lived in various places around the world, experiencing different weather, light and culture; every version of snow imaginable in a fishing village in the east of Iceland, rain in Helsinki whilst waiting for the cold that never came, the relaxing Californian sun in San Francisco and the crisp air in overcast Glasgow. Having tried an array of mostly creative fields, she has now settled happily in the field of fine art using mostly photography and video as her media. Currently she is based in Reykjavik, writing, teaching and making art.
