Bjarnadóttir collects Icelandic plants and boils them, using the color that is created through the process to dye thread. At the same time, she dyes more thread using acrylic colors. Bjarnadóttir then builds canvas from scratch, weaving these colored threads together, so the “image“ and the surface of the painting become one and the same. Some years ago, Bjarnadóttir acquired a piece of land with diverse flora. It became the foundation for her exhibition, Ecosystem of Colors, in the Reykjavik Art Museum – Kjarvalsstaðir in 2016, where she displayed a series of different works created in an identical way as this one. The works reflect the artist‘s ideas about the nature of painting, through materials, methods and the origin of colors.
