Clay Mohrman is a multi-disciplinary lighting artist out of Burlington, VT. In 2017, he founded Clay Mohr Lighting, as a way to develop unique lighting sculptures using LED lighting and natural materials for indoor and outdoor spaces. His work lies at the intersection between nature, lighting and emotion. Clay uses lighting as a primary medium because of its ability to emphasize, connect and evoke emotions. He believes that integrating pieces of the natural world in artwork helps us start a dialogue with ourselves regarding our environment, our community and our connection with the world. https://www.claymohrlighting.com/ @claymohrlighting 

Jackson Gearing is a classical composer from Denver, Colorado, currently working on writing a symphony during his one month stay at the NES Artist Residency. He has previously written various chamber pieces for wind instruments, large brass ensemble music, and music for wind ensemble and orchestra. He also frequently conducts his larger ensemble music, such as Meditations for Brass and River, the latter winning an “Outstanding Performance of a Student Composition” award from the Lamont School of Music in June 2023. This residency follows his first orchestral premiere of “Moskstraumen,” an 8-minute piece performed by the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra in Bulgaria.

Linda Saul is a painter working in mixed water-based media and collage.

She produces semi-abstract and highly textured mixed media paintings focused on the landscape in its varieties – urban, rural, coastal and sometimes wild. She is particularly interested in how the landscape changes with the passage of time – not just seasonal change but how the landscape is shaped by human intervention, environmental forces, climate change and nature’s adaptations. 

Linda is currently working on a body of work based on her residencies at NES and road trips around Iceland for a major exhibition in London in October 2024. You can find more of Linda’s work at https://lindasaul.co.uk/ and https://www.instagram.com/linda.m.saul

Lito Apostolakou is a visual artist based in London UK, working with drawing, moving image and installation. Her work investigates the architecture of remembered space, where the real and the fictional merge creating uncertain, often fragile narratives. She is currently developing an installation on the theme of hypnagogia, the state between wakefulness and sleep – an in-between space, where it is possible to dream without losing consciousness.

Drawn to NES by the promise of snow, solitude and darkness, Lito is filming the interplay of ice and water at the seafront of Skagaströd, and also capturing sounds with a field recorder and hydrophone. She is exploring ways of merging this visual and audio material with her drawings to create an immersive dreamscape installation, perhaps a Museum of Sleep.

In my artistic practice, I focus on exploring the relationship between women and nature, seeking to express their strength and determination through the symbolism of the natural world. My current project, which I am pursuing at the NES artist residency, titled “Iceland is a Woman,” delves into this interconnected dynamic, portraying women as an integral part of nature, reflecting their strength, beauty, and independence. This project is holistic, combining not only visual art but also elements of a healthy lifestyle and harmony with nature. This encompasses both the conditions of nature and the actions I undertake during the project. My inspiration stems from personal experiences seeking strength and balance in Iceland. It is a country that captivates not only with its landscapes but also offers the opportunity to explore various health practices, such as proper diet, regular running, cold exposure, cryotherapy, meditation, and energy work. All these elements influence my creative processes and constitute an integral part of my artistic life in Iceland.

Margot Stage is an eclectic artist who uses a variety of methods and materials in response to what she sees around her. At NES she is focusing on drawing, both the landscape and the Icelandic alphabet soup! You can see more of Margot’s work on her website https://margotstage.com/

Sandra Kruisbrink is a visual artist from the Netherlands, her main focus is drawing but she often integrates printmaking and photography in her drawings.

Her works on paper appear light and open, yet they are highly complex and the product of an extremely labour-intensive process.

She works precisely, drawing the finest of lines, and her interest in craftsmanship is evident. Her inspiration is drawn from nature; mountains and trees are predominant in her recent work.

Two years ago she was in Iceland for the first time, for a residency at the Fishfactory in Stöðvarfjörður. Since then, she has continued to long for the silence and emptiness of the Icelandic landscape, which has been a  is a big inspiration.

Here in Skagaströnd the main subject of her drawings is the Spákonufell mountain and its various appearances.

I am not the first to say that the arts is one of the purest records of our history, sociology and mythology; it is a glimpse into the truth of the past and often – at its greatest, a glimmer of the future. As bias, division, and indoctrination carve holes into our reality on a macro and micro level, it is art that continues to weave an honest fabric that will perhaps one day be the binding force we need.In the last few years, as my work began to define itself to me, I realized that my storytelling serves a provisional function of offering options, until, I hope, those options become a reality.

I am a playwright, screenwriter and director from New York City and within all these mediums devote myself to the investigation of the soft underbelly of human experience, my work often has a utopian ideology at its backbone, because well, we must imagine it until it becomes true. 

While at NES I have mainly focused on writing a deeply personal feature film that is largely autobiographical – a very new kind of project for me.  My two months here have been filled with honest self-reflection and acrobatic fantasizing, a maddeningly wonderful dichotomy to work from .  As with all my other work, my new piece attempts to stand up to prescribed societal norms and expectations, especially those relating to women (self-identifying and defining), and offer up alternatives. 

My wish and dream for American (and international) arts is a release of perfection, of a “final product”, of an ideal and instead to accept global permission to deep dive into process, investigation, and the singular beauty of experimentation. NES has provided beautiful time and space for just that. https://www.instagram.com/kotryna________/

I mainly create ceramic jewelry and small objects, but currently I am thinking about how the colorful and visually noisy urban environment in Pakistan causes some level of anxiety in residents because they lack empty visual and mental space to think. I have been working on this project to create 2D designs for Pakistani textile surfaces which could create some sense of calmness, visual depth and empty perspectives in order to bring some serenity and calmness to our environment. Since I was born and lived my entire life in visually rich Pakistan, I needed to learn the language of real minimalism and serenity. I came to Skagastrond to physically exist in an open space to cleanse my visual palette.

In addition to that, impressed by looking at the thin black electricity poles in white snowy landscape on the way to Blondous, I decided to construct delicate small ceramic sculptural objects.

I’ve come here to NES for a second time. 

In September 2023, I worked with charcoal and other black-white materials with the theme of the power of movements of lines. This time I’ve been so charmed by the nearly floating atmosphere of the wintry landscape. For it is the season between winter and spring: it is snow and ice, the melting of snow begins, grass and rocks are appearing again. The chain of mountains, the “fells” in Icelandic, the Westfjord-coast, behind the sea, between sea and sky, it all seems to float. 

Nearly mystical this changing of light on these snowy landscapes, transparent, shining… between surreal and real, between sky and earth. Silence. Wide endlessness! It makes a special sound I feel in my soul…

So I took out the dry pastel sticks to try to give this inner and outer magic of flying an expression that could be adequate. Most of these drawings are not bigger than 15 cm x 40 cm. 

Now with the snow storms the world turns more closed, reduced, mysterious, the roaring sound of the blizzard…everyday weather changes here! Things and thoughts are reduced to the elemental extract of life.
