Eygló Harðardóttir artbook
"Schulpture"
Published and distributed by ´uns
´uns is soon publishing the artbook "Schulpture" by artist Eygló Harðardóttir. The idea behind Eygló ´s book lie in her aim to make an object of art as well as printed matter. Eygló ´s work has an approach to material awareness, composition and colours in layers. The sensitivity in the changeable form also makes her strength.
The binding will be ´loosely´ stitched so the folding ability is flexible. A pattern of perforations is a detail on the pages creating various possibilities in bending and tearing some of the parts.

Revised excerpt from Gavin Morrison's essay for the exhibition, Eyborg Guðmundsdóttir & Eygló Harðardóttir at Skaftfell, Seyðisfjörður.
The constructions of Eygló Harðardóttir works could be thought of as models of the suggested spaces derived from abstract paintings.
For Eygló Harðardóttir there is an attention to the ways in which colour functions and affects the perception of an object. Her choices of material and construction approaches, give the objects a particular immediacy. In a sense the work displays something of the notion of bricolage, that is using materials that are to hand for efficiency of articulation. As such the work can be seen to appear as propositional, as a possible state of existence, rather than an ideal one.
