Sausages "curtain" made with Papier-mâché sausages, 2024

​

This project was created for the Hamraborg Festival. Using discarded materials and trash, I built giant food sculptures displayed across the Icelandic countryside and lava fields.

Food has always been one of my favorite subjects in art. I frequently paint, draw, and construct food-inspired projects. When I travel, I love exploring unusual or quirky foods, smelly, oddly shaped, or emblematic of a country’s culinary obsessions.

​

The project began with sausages. After living in three Nordic countries: Iceland, Denmark, and Finland I became fascinated by their collective obsession with hot dogs. Since then, I’ve been painting, building, illustrating, sewing, screen printing, and even making ceramic sausages. Over time, the project has expanded to other foods, including pretzels, giant carrots, and more.

This sausage exhibition was first presented during the Hamraborg Festival 2024.

It was also presented during the PØLSE & POESI event of the Nordic House in Reykjavík for their sausage and literature night 2026. The exhibition was up for a week. More info here.
