Description: Basaltstuðlar og fjölkynngi (basalt columns and sorcery). Created by Marie Sophie Besson (https://www.instagram.com/marie.giboulee.art/) using linocut printmaking technique. The integration of Iceland's natural landscape with a figure apparently practising seiðr suggests a connection to broader Viking heritage. References to seiðr are common in saga and eddic literature, often focusing on its practice by both appropriate and controversial figures.
