The visual material of the works is mostly from Kristbergur’s childhood and adolence. It can be said that it is an attempt to review and reprocessing. The juxtaposition of images creates various connections, partly poetic and philosophical but also free like in a childhood game that opens up for the viewer’s interpretation.
Kristbergur was always drawing and painting as a child and has managed to preserve quite a few of those pictures. He learned to do linoleum prints in elementary school and soon started cutting and printing from linoplates on his own at home. He has kept the plates ever since.
In the month of May 2022, Kristbergur was in the middle of sketchworking process when the idea arose that now the old linoplates could be useful. So he began to print from the old plates on the sketches. Sketches soon developed into a small series of works. Soon thereafter more material was added, both old and brand new. Finally, the poems entered. In this way, it can be said that some of the works span Kristberg’s entire career. The series is still in progress. In production, different media are mixed together, such as the original linoplates, inkjet printing, text and painting.
