Skautuhvalur (Longyearbyen in Summer)

2024, Glazed ceramic, 7x10x1 inches

Land of the midnight sun, Longyearbyen, Svalbard, in the summer. Cotton grass blooms near a glacial river as colorful houses nestle in the valley below the mountains. The scene plays out on the back of the “skautuhvalur,” a sea monster based on the Arctic skate.
