A simulation of the cavernous depths of a volcano, via musician and artist Jónsi (the one from Sigur Rós).
(Press release) Hrafntinna (Obsidian) emerged from the time Jónsi was stuck in America during the pandemic, feeling disconnected from the lifeforce of Iceland, his homeland. From afar, he saw news of the spectacular eruptiointo his ritual of longing and wonder for the heaving mountain? We’re not sure yet. David bought the artwork for Mona in 2022. This is the first time we’ve put it out on display.
