In this interview Shoplifter / Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir speaks about the importance of color, the relationship between drawn lines and synthetic hair and the amazing Icelandic textile tradition. She describes the pleasures of working away with her hand at the studio.

Born in Iceland, Shoplifter came to New York in the 1980’s to attend grad school. 25 years on she still divides her time between the mystical island and the bustling city.

Her large scale multi scenery installation Chromo Zones, made of synthetic hair, is on display at Kulturhuset in Stockholm 2021.
