Thingvellir: A Place of Verdicts

The artist's statement provides a crucial context for understanding the artwork: "At Thingvellir National Park our Parliament was founded in 930. It was a place where verdicts were carried out..." This immediately places the artwork within a specific historical and geographical setting. Thingvellir National Park is not simply a beautiful landscape; it's a place where Iceland's parliament was founded and where important decisions, including executions, were made.

The Power of Landscape

While we lack details of the scene to blog more specifically, the title "The Waiting" conjures a sense of anticipation, perhaps even dread. It could imply someone awaiting judgment, or perhaps more poetically, the land itself "waiting" to absorb the weight of historical events. One can imagine a scene that captures the stark beauty of Thingvellir, with its dramatic rock formations, vast plains, and perhaps a sense of isolation and silence.
