Labyrinth in the sheltered Prince’s Gardens square, with its landscape garden, is hidden and tranquil though very central and found just off Exhibition Road where countless people pass through every day. The fenced square invites visitors, or passers-by, to walk the path across the green. The path guides one to it’s destination, making entry onto the lawn unnecessary when passing through. But if staying and enjoying the enclosed area, the grass or a garden bench invites one to rest and reflect. Within the square near the south entrance to Exhibition Road is the installation site for the over life size sculpture Labyrinth. As one walks around the work to view it from a distance, one finds its form and depth change constantly and gets the feeling of its enclosure, the inner space with help from walls opening, entrances or exits and the see through hessian walls. It has been stated that I “choreograph the viewer’s movements and experience, diverting the focus points and resisting the notion of a full overview”. I invite people on a journey to enter the seven wall structure or to just ignore it. On that journey one will have to go out of one’s way from the path to enter the Labyrinth where it expresses it’s being both by form and name.

Gudrun Nielsen Reykjavík-based sculptor has spent most of her artistic career working in the UK. She has competed and exhibited at an international level and been granted many different awards for her art. Gudrun has exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions around the world, e.g. UK, Sweden, Italy, Germany and Spain. Gudrun Nielsen aligns herself with a modernist-based formalism with minimalist overtones. Producing large-scale sculpture in a variety of media, Nielsen uses geometrical forms which reflect elements of balance and movement. Drawn to clear and harmonious proportions, as well as cultures, elements of her practice echo Japanese attitudes to mass and shape. The environmental installation The Mountain series, 2014-18 of recycled materials influenced me by the location of my studio in Reykjavík, on the site of Iceland’s leading providers of environmental management services and clean energy. The Barren Wasteland Series 2019 evolved from a July trip to Jökulheimar the home of glaciers, situated in the lower part of the Tungnaá River on the former edge of the Tungnaá Glacier, Iceland. For the past 60 years the glacier has retracted ca.10km on it´s slow but constant drift. The area around Jökulheimar is a barren wasteland of black sand and lava. Photography, using Hasselblad Xpan.
