Multimedia Pieces by Elfa Jónsdóttir

My dream has always been to be a painter. I felt that my textile work, where I painted, printed, and dyed fabric, before manipulating it into art, was my forum of painting. But now I wanted to challenge myself to "paint". I found that my old habits are hard to break. After some experiments with a paint brush on canvas, I discovered that painting, printing and manipulating paper is much more fun than traditional painting. Transitioning my work into collage and mixed medium including painting is my new forum.
