About the exhibition:
Having travelled across the world from New Zealand to come and stay in Olafsfjordur for 2 months Susan Mabin was unable to bring her usual heavy materials of sculpture with her. Rather naively she thought that there might not be much rubbish up here on these northern shores but there is…and from this rubbish she found her materials to work with. As Mabin worked with these ‘finds’ qualities like the colours, textures, and shapes interested her, but often the juxtapositions of materials would end up having an environmental content that touches on this rubbish problem that humans are creating.
