Toni Cinderella is a multidisciplinary artist from the east coast of the U.S and has returned for a second time at the Fish Factory! Her work explores the notion of making things with love through connecting with nature and looking at elements of folk art, decorative art, and anything wholesome and cute.
During her residency, she worked on a series of marker illustrations that were inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of Iceland. The flower gardens and fabric collections at Petra’s Stone Museum also heavily influenced her drawings. She spent a lot of time outside taking videos of water, birds, and the iconic sister mountains of Stöðvarfjörður. These were accompanied by recorded bird calls, waves, organ, theremin, and her voice to collage together in her short and sweet video and sound pieces.
Her work looks deep into her own spirituality, femininity, and are love letters that state her gratefulness while admiring the complex yet simplistic beauty of the natural world around us.
