Note from the artist:
"This body of work is in one sense an ode to my heritage, to a physical place that is like home- maybe home isn't quite the right word, but a place that feels like I have been part of it for a long time, in my bones and blood. Not somewhere I go every evening (or even every year) but a place that makes me feel rooted and at peace. Norway, Lindesnes Fjord, my family's hytta, the place where my father grew up and his family has lived for hundreds of years. There are two swans that swim together across the fjord, ornery and elegant. I have been mystified by them and you can see these characters coming through the work, alongside other glimpses of this place, like the mysterious female statue that has stood outside the farm my father grew up on, like a loving, beautiful guardian in a bonnet." -Rachel
