Sigga Björg Sigurðardóttir

Furðuverur og kynjadýr með mannlega eiginleika hafa lengi verið viðfangsefni Siggu Bjargar. Hún vinnur yfirleitt ekki eftir fyrir fram ákveðinni hugmynd eða skissu, heldur skapar hún í flæði í einni atrennu og sækir innblástur í hugarheim sinn og undirmeðvitund. Útkoman er oftar en ekki sería af teikningum, þar sem mannleg hegðun, frumstæðar kenndir og tilfinningar birtast í verkum þar sem listakonan kannar óljós mörkin milli mennskunnar og hins dýrslega. Verkið Dagdraumur er hluti af seríunni Óvera þar sem Sigga Björg teflir saman teikningum og textum á óræðan og dulúðugan hátt. Sambandið á milli þeirra er óljóst en heiti verksins gefur þó ákveðna vísbendingu um mögulegan lestur. Það er þó engin línuleg framvinda til staðar eða annað haldreipi venjulegrar sögu heldur reynir á ímyndunarafl áhorfandans.
 
Fantastical and hybrid creatures with human features have long been Sigga Björg´s subject matter. She usually does not start the working process from a preconceived idea, but creates flow in one go, looking for inspiration in her internal life and subconscious. The result, more often than not, is a series of drawings where human behaviour, primal forces and emotions appear as motifs for the artist´s exploration of the undefined boundaries between what is human and what is animal. The work is part of the series Unbeing, where Sigga Björg weaves together drawings and text in an ambiguous, mystical manner. The connection between these is not clear, but the title of the work provides a certain hint on how it might be read. There is no linear progression to a certain place, or any other tethering device for a traditional story; instead, the viewer´s imagination is tested.

Dagdraumur

Sigga Björg´s visual world is free of all pretence and enigma. The artist, in fact, lets everything out. Sigga Björg´s approach is free-flow, seeking inspiration in her own mental world and subconscious. Her method is as honest and direct as one can imagine: automatic writing which yields wild-seeming beings somewhere between animal and human in their actions.
