Jokulsarlon

My first thought when I red WILD was Tiger. My next idea was the Scandinavien equivalent, lynx. But I changed my mind, and wanted to go more abstract. So I decided to revisit a theme I have played with before. In Iceland, there is a lake  filled with floating mini-icebergs from the nearby glacier. It is called Jokulsarlon, which means "glacial river lagoon". The lines, colour and texture are really fascinating. I painted some fabric in this wonderful green-blue kind of colour of the glacier, cut it up and pieced it together again, and layered it with a polyester kind of fiber, usually used in scrapboking, some of which were manipulated with heat.

I quilted it all with parallell lines and framed it with a simple black binding.
