ITOQQIPPOQ

Limited edition artist’s book, selected for the British Library’s Lines in the Ice exhibition, 2014. Created during an artist’s residency at Upernavik Museum, Greenland in 2010.

Itoqqippoq means ‘washing line’ in Greenlandic. The visual narrative is created from a series of photographs of a frozen washing line observed in Ilulissat, West Greenland. In the Arctic, laundry is left out to freeze-dry all year round, but these sheets were dancing in the wind – a sign of spring.
