According to Icelandic folklore, the 66-metre-high Reynisdrangar Trolls [sea stacks] were created when two trolls were attempting to drag a three-masted ship to shore. In their haste they did not notice that the sun was rising. As the rays of daylight hit them, they (and the ship) were instantly turned to stone. I love this idea of the endless struggle, the waves rhythmically crashing against them. This artwork seeks to capture one night of their story. A moment frozen in time, in a petrified landscape.
