Through a variety of media Alda Mohr Eyðunardóttir (b. 1997, Faroe Islands)
explores themes of language, silence, and cultural heritage, weaving them together with recognisable materials such as wool, bronze, and film, relocating these objects in new contexts. She engages with the fluidity of meaning and history, recognizing how they continuously shape the present. As she always creates in Faroese, a minority language in most contexts, she works actively with the layered ways in which her work is interpreted, often through subtitles and translation. Drawing from feminist theory, craft traditions, and language, Eyðunardóttir examines how to create broader meanings through a personal lens.

From the catalog: “A knitted sock cast in bronze,
points to the aforementioned
historical trade and to the exhibition
venue’ s history as a storage place
for trade goods. The cast works are
full of contrasts: here the soft, old, traditional material is cast in bronze, a hard and expensive material.
