Í þessum skúr úti á Granda er tímabundin röksemdarfærsla, athugasemdir. Atlögur að því að höndla tímann á bókstaflegan hátt. Mögulegar ofsagnir. Líðandi og framvinda stilla sér upp, liðin augnablik og eilíf láta á sér kræla. Léttar veitingar í boði.
In this shed by the harbour there is a temporary ratiocination, annotations. Attempts at handling time, literally. Potential overstatements. Development and the passing poise, moments passed and eternal crop up.

Gull á Maríuhorni, Gull í Staðarkirkju
Site specific works in remote Grunnavík, Jökulfirðir for the exhibition Umhverfing, 2022.
Fremsti partur Staðarfjalls heitir Maríuhorn. Sagnir herma að þar hafi verið færðar fórnir í heiðnum sið og má leiða líkum að því að ein gyðja hafi rekið við af annarri. Frá fornu fari hétu menn á Maríuhorn, einkum sjómenn. Áheitin hafa gengið til Maríukirkju á Stað, en kirkjan er helguð Maríu guðsmóður.
Annar hluti verksins er staðsettur á Maríualtarinu á tindi Maríuhorns. Stórhættulegt er að vitja verksins og ekki er mælt með að reyna það.

The tip of Mt. Staðarfjall is called Maríuhorn, Pinnacle of Mary. Legend has it that it was a place of sacrifice in heathen times and one can speculate that one goddess took the place of another. Sailors would call on the Pinnacle of Mary for rescue on the sea and give money to Maríukirkja, Church of Virgin Mary in Staður, if they survived.
One part of the work is placed on the Altar of Mary on Maríuhorn pinnacle. Visiting the works is extremely dagnerous and not recommended.

Prelude
Cassiopeia A sprakk fyrir sirka 300 árum og snerist einhvern veginn á rönguna. Það sem áður var í kjarna hennar - járn, súlfur, sílíkon, magnesíum, neon og súrefni - slettist á yfirborðið en er nú hvergi lengur að finna í kjarnanum. Úthverf pláneta, með kjarnann dreifðan um yfirborðið. Mikið skil ég hana vel.
Cassiopeia A exploded some 300 years ago and somehow turmed inside out. What used to be in her nucleus - iron, sulphur, silicone, magnesium, neon and oxygen - got splattered on her surface and is now nowhere to be found in her nucleus. An inside out planet, with her nucleus spread over her surface. I can relate.

Þegar ég málaði þetta afmæliskerti, núllið, blotnaði næsta blað í blokkinni svo það bólgnaði upp. Bunga í laginu eins og núll. Varla neitt, en samt eitthvað. Mig langaði að snúa þessu á rönguna, láta litina af núllinu renna út á rammann og hafa þessa nánast ósýnilegu eftirmynd af núllinu inni í rammanum. Svo gufaði vatnið allt upp svo það sléttist úr blaðinu og eftir það varð ekkert af engu.
When I painted this birthday candle, the zero, the next page in my pad got wet so it swelled up. A swell shaped like a zero. Hardly anything, yet something. I watned to turn this inside out, let the colours of the zero slide out onto the frame and have this almost invisible afterimage of the zero inside the frame. Then the water all evaporated so the paper smoothed out and after that nothing came from nothing.
