This is a superb collection of images by renowned artist Roni Horn, chosen and edited by the artist herself especially for this volume. Born in New York in 1955, the grand-daughter of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, Roni Horn began in the 1960s to explore the changing nature of art through sculpture, drawing, photography, books and installations. Immersed in the minimalist tradition, her artistic trajectory has evolved through her focus on memory and identity, and she has employed wide variety of materials in her work, including glass, plastic and gold. She has created sculptures and photographs of great beauty and sensuality. Although a resident of New York, Horn considers Iceland to be her second home, and the ever-changing landscape of that country is a recurring theme in her work. Here, she has captured Iceland's natural environment through a series of photographs taken in May 2012, and brought together under the meaningful title Mother, Wonder.
