EXHIBITION: 'WAVE HORSE'

Wavehorse’ was born in an isolated midwinter in Sweden. This work comes from shipwrecks, Viking burials, cold and snow. It’s a work forged from darkness and silence - a threshold where the veil between this world and the other is delicate; a time of beauty, star and candle; a sense of clarity and resilience.

In Old Norse language, Unvigg, Wavehorse means a ship. In history and myth, horses and ships, capable of crossing both physical and metaphorical boundaries, play a vital role in human affairs.

Ships and horses, practical and physically alluring, inspire the human imagination with stories both real and imagined. One such is the story of Slepinir, the Norse god Odin’s eight legged horse, which flies from one world to another, providing a powerful archetype for humans confronting the challenge of mortality.
