Mineral Matter is a photographic series that explores the interplay between Iceland’s dynamic river deltas and traces of human curiosity. Volcanic ash, sediment and colorful minerals are collected and moved by the powerful travels of glacier water, while recent human relics such as vehicle tracks and footsteps weave in and out of frame, giving us a sense of scale. Photographed from above, the painterly interfolds of watery texture and vibrant sediment create graphic compositions only visible from the sky. The glacial rivers are ever shifting, depositing into the ocean where fresh water meets salt water. In this sublime yet forbidding landscape, the forces of nature are profound.
