Hanna Dís Whitehead
Hanna Dís Whitehead lives and works in Hornafjördur in Southeast Iceland, around 500km from the capital Reykjavík. She first travelled to Hornafjördur 16 years ago and it was in this starkly beautiful place she met her partner, whose family were farmers in the area. Hanna’s studies in design had taken her to Denmark then to the Design Academy in Eindhoven, but the Icelandic landscape drew her back.
