María Jónsdóttir

María Jónsdóttir is born in 1958.  She has a BA degree as a textile designer and graduated from Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2000.  For some period of time she took interest in sculpture-making which can partly be viewed here on this website as well as in our gallery.

From the beginning of the year 2006 she has been a freelance textile designer, emphasizing in pattern design and tailored work for interiors.

"My sculptures consist of units that can be viewed both separately and as larger composite pieces.  For the pyramids, the mountain "Keilir" at Reykjanes is a parallel natural phenomenon.  The works "Facing in" are inspired by geothermal areas in Iceland, whose openings into the earth invite inspection.  Their reference to feminine elements is juxtaposed with the masculine aspect of the other works."

The sculptures are made in limited, numbered editions.
