Emily is a dancer, interdisciplinary artist, and philosophy PhD candidate based in Toronto, Canada. Her philosophical writing and dance practice explore connection between and alienation from people and place, respectively. Emily’s dance practice is shaped by her training, competition, and performance over the past two decades in various dance styles, including ballet, contemporary, and bachata.
In residency at NES, Emily worked on two projects. In dance, she focused on exploring the intuitive moulding or resistance of the body in response to changes in the natural environment. Building from this practice, she collaborated with cinematographer and fellow resident, Rebeka Naydenova, by choreographing and performing in a short film. In the shared studio, she sculpted a clay portrait of a live model that she carved into a life-size mask. https://www.instagram.com/emily.bachata/
Rebeka Naydenova is a cinematographer with a degree from the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria. Her project in Iceland focuses mainly on a documentary film about runes, magic staves, and the captivating power of mountains. See more of Rebeka’s work at https://www.instagram.com/thenymphalid/
The Life Plan: Food, Pottery and Travel. Educated as Microbiologists. Owned a Natural Food Store and Organic Flour milling company. Lived in Japan and apprenticed in ceramics.
The work we produce in our studio in Indianola, WA, USA is primarily functional ware with an asian influence. We also enjoy diving into raku and sculptural work.
The geology of Iceland has inspired us to focus on the Japanese ceramic technique of kurinuki, which means ’to carve out’. We appreciate the opportunity to be here at NES to explore this technique.
Kathryn Allen Hurni is an American fine art photographer living and working on the East Coast of the United States. Her work during the NES artist in residency is a sharp departure from what she usually photographs; turning her lens from portraiture and focusing instead on landscape, color, and the tension between abstraction and environment. You can follow her @khurni or visit her site www.kahurni.com
I am excited and delighted to be with NES during October. I will be working on a photography project using camera obscura long exposures to portray the role of elves and religion in Icelandic and contemporary global culture.
With the rise of extremism, I want to explore the role of belief systems in trying to understand the world.
I’m sharing some of my first images here for you; I would love to hear what you think. you can see more of Alan’s work at https://gignouxphotos.com/
Teuta Pashnjari is an Albanian fine artist currently participating in an artist residency at NES AIR in Iceland. Her practice delves into themes of cultural memory, identity, and the intersection of tradition and contemporary life. Through painting and video art, her site-specific projects explore the subtle ways in which inter-generational knowledge shapes identity, highlighting the traditions that bridge the past and present. During her residency at NES, Pashnjari is focusing on site-specific paintings that engage with the natural environment of Skagaströnd, with a particular emphasis on color and form.
