Field Essays

This new issue looks into the work of Icelandic designer Brynjar Sigur-arson. Instinctively bridging the fields of design and anthropology, industrial manufacturing and craftsmanship, Sigur-arson has built an animated body of work over the past five years. His way of working can perhaps best be compared to the attitude of a hunter on a constant lookout for the unusual, becoming one with the very world he's studying. Included in this issue are a personal foreword by Li Edelkoort, an exclusive conversation with anthropologist Tim Ingold, and a 12 inch vinyl record with stories collected, told and illustrated by Sigur-arson. A selection of previously unpublished drawings and writings will thrill amateurs of hand-made details, myths, darkness, isolation, micro-history, memory, stones, animals, and the supernatural.
