Every year I travel from my home in Vancouver, Canada, to Iceland, the place of my birth. I don't stay in the city much. Instead, I head out to my parents quiet lakeside cabin to take a rest from my self imposed stressful life and to experience kyrrð og ró (peace and quiet). After a couple of days of recuperating, my parents and I head on excursions around the island. To me, these travels are not so much a photographic exploration, but more a time to visit with my parents and my "old" country; the camera just comes along. However, with such breathtaking views and beautiful light, a stop here and there is inevitable. As soon as I take out my camera I find that stillness within, that deep sense of peace that I crave everyday. I get lost in such a beautiful way that it’s hard to describe... it’s like I find a piece of me that I had lost, not really knowing that I lost it. As I sit quietly looking through the viewfinder, my senses are heightened. The smell of the earth makes me feel grounded, the sound of waves crashing, grass rustling in the wind or a bleating from a lone sheep in a distance make me feel so alive, and the vastness of what I see makes me feel expansive. This is what it feels like to be in the Now, which really is to be still in mind and body. My images come from a place of emotion. They are not an attempt to capture the perfect image, but to capture the feeling I experience as I witness what I see.

ABOUT: Born in Iceland, Eydís S. Luna Einarsdóttir is a visual artist with a lifelong, far-ranging photographic practice. Growing up amidst Iceland’s striking visual environments, she developed a close relationship with the camera early in life. In 1990 her passion for photography brought her to the United States, where she studied at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA (BA, 1993). There after Eydís stayed on in the USA, spending majority of the time in California and New York City, before settling in Vancouver in 2005. ARTIST STATEMENT: Photography has been at the centre of my life and creative practice from my earliest years, having been raised in an artistic family amidst Iceland’s remarkable natural environments. What developed at first into a successful commercial photography practice became, over time, a personal artistic vision. Given my origins, I am drawn to the ocean shore when seeking stillness and repose, and my photographic work to date has explored the formal expressions of natural water in its various states: the diverse, variegated surfaces of seas and lakes, sometimes almost metallic, and the horizon’s unflinching, linear perfection. My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of light and lighting gleaned in the course of my commercial practice; as such, I relate strongly to Icelandic painter George Gudni’s approaches to atmosphere, light, and landscape, as well as to the works of Mark Rothko. More lately, what began as a search for stillness has since led to a new affinity for natural textures and forms in motion, both terrestrial and aquatic. My most recent works thus aim to portray the natural world in its essential dynamism—like the artist’s practice, a continual cycle of formation and reformation. “The act of capturing movement, creating something which is beyond our visible means is a cathartic experience for me. Simply a place of being, seeing and moving. In the end, the full potential of my movements comes to light once the "negative" is processed.”
