In her work Katrin Sigurðardottir examines distance and memory and their embodiments in architecture, urbanism, cartography and traditional landscape representations. When she refers to distant places from the past, she relies on modelling and shows how things become smaller from a distance and fade away into memory. She tampers with the running attitude we usually have towards the environment and reminds us of the part we play in its development. Sigurðardottir emphasizes the close relationship between senses and creativity. “When we experience a new environment—she says—we catch it as a snapshot in our mind and store it there”. This play on the border of mental and material space is repeated in various and fascinating ways throughout her work.
