This is a prime example of the artist’s original wood carvings, her signature medium of combining woodcut and drawing. It showcases woodcut’s unique aesthetics that can only be achieved with a blade, and also has the direct and hand-drawn quality of drawings.
 
In the imaginary arctic country Northlandia, the Ice Queen thinks of a new scheme to slow down temperature warming. She orders hundreds of giant puffins to flap their majestic wings and blow the rising warm air southwards around the clock at the country’s border.
 
This piece is inspired by the artist’s artist residency in Iceland in 2013. She travelled to Grimsey, a remote island within the arctic circle home to fewer than 100 people and over one million seabirds, including the famous puffins.
