THIS BRAVE ARTSMAN FROM SE ENGLANDS - PART EINN! (INTRO)


Yes the brave artsman from se Englands is finally in Iceland. What a journey it has been, from organising the Liam Scully Liquidation Sale to this moment where I sit in Hóll, the humble house of the late great Birgir Andrésson (1955 – 2007).
My desk overlooks the Fjarðará River flowing east, Seyðisfjörður is dwarfed by mountains on either side and a snow blizzard has just hit the village, the day prior to my arrival the town was blessed with good weather reaching 15˚. But I didn’t come here for good weather so I am rather pleased with myself.

I made the Light-Beam addition because of the strong creative presence that I feel in Hóll
