Galop Náttúrunnar 2019
Galop Náttúrunnar is an arwork in a public area located in the park Elliðaárdalur in Reykjavík. This work is made with my collegues Arngrímur Guðmundsson and Bergur Ari Sveinsson in cooperation with Reykjavík city.
We got our inspiration from Icelandic folktales. The sculpture is seen as something that sparks joy for children through tales about trolls that has been in our culture for a very long time.
