Inspired by Glaciers
ABOUT
I’ve spent years living among Icelandic glaciers, watching them shift, melt, and slowly retreat. Lost Ukiyo grew out of that experience. It became a way to hold on to something that is slipping away. It became my way to remember.
Each piece is created directly on the ice, using glacier meltwater and non-toxic ink made from vegetable soot. The process follows the ancient Japanese art of suminagashi, where ink drifts freely on water before settling into its final form. Nothing can ever be repeated. Each print holds its own quiet story, shaped by wind, water, and time.
The name comes from the Japanese word Ukiyo, meaning “Floating World.” It reflects the fragile and elusive nature of these prints, alive for a moment yet rooted in the shifting reality of the glaciers.
Each artwork preserves what once was, what still exists, and what may vanish. Made on the glacier itself, they are a gentle act of witness.
Breiðamerkurjökull Collection
DESCRIPTION
This artwork was created directly on the surface of Breiðamerkurjökull in Iceland, using glacier meltwater and natural ink made from vegetable soot. The print captures a brief moment when ink and water met on the ice, shaped by hand, wind, and time.
Each piece is one of a kind. Small imperfections remain as part of its origin, carrying the quiet traces of the glacier itself.
Breiðamerkurjökull is a wide outlet glacier of Vatnajökull. Its retreat led to the formation of the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, one of Iceland’s most well known glacial landscapes.
This artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
