Fish Factory

Nancy Pilkington is an artist from Stanstead Abbotts, UK.

During my stay at the fish factory I had a unique opportunity to gather myself creatively. I enjoyed testing the limits of my practice, learning a new skill and taking up an old one. I began working with clay which helped build my intuition. As I got comfortable, the pieces got smaller, finishing with a castle the size of my thumb.

Gradually I moved towards drawing and paint. The restriction of scale allowed more freedom to build layers. I collated my favourite painters, names of stones and ideas, fossilising.

I am very grateful for the time I spent in Stöðvarfjörður. The camaraderie of the group and the epic beauty of the Fjord provided me with a rich resource I will carry on my journey forward.
