At least sometimes we all want time to slow down or, on the contrary, run faster; so that there are, for example, not three dimensions in space, but more … Contemporary Icelandic author Anna Joelsdottir imagines that canvases with bright images are the very same time and space, and the author compresses, stretches, rearranges, multiplies them at his pleasure, creating original installations …
In order to explore the issues of time in space, Anna Joelsdottir creates abstract drawings on mylar, which she subsequently places in the room, depending on her imagination. Each next installation by the author is different from the previous one: even if Anna Joelsdottir uses the same drawings, the exhibition halls are different anyway. This means that the canvases will be placed in different ways, taking into account all the features of the room. “I learn during my creative process … it is both exciting and scary … I approach this problem as an artist, I try to look at space as a painting, I try to present objects in space as elements of a drawing,” says Anna Joelsdottir about creating her installations …
Anna Joelsdottir compares her installations to the work of a writer or composer who creates, rebuilds and depicts time and space using words and symbols - and she does the same, only colors, lines and shapes act as her tools.
Anna Joelsdottir was born in Iceland and currently lives and works in Chicago. The author says that her childhood and adolescence passed without the influence of the media: she was 20 years old when she first saw TV. However, books and radio remained, but they did not give any visual images - which means that they had to be created on their own. Anna Joelsdottir is sure that this situation influenced her perception of the world and, of course, contributed to the development of her imagination.

After the first acquaintance with the works of David Spriggs (David Spriggs), I want to ask the author a lot of questions. How, for example, did he manage to enclose a cloud in a glass aquarium? Or why did a drop of paint freeze in the water, not spreading in it? The answer is simple - it's all drawn, no matter how incredible it may seem at first glance
