Sea Cow

Sea Cow (2023)

Fantasy

Edith Morris directed, edited, animated, recorded sound, filmed, and even created the costumes for SÆKÝR during her artist residency at the Fish Factory Creative Centre in Stöðvarfjörður in March-April 2023. Originally from Wales, Edith Morris draws comparisons between the mythological pasts of Iceland and Wales. “Many of the stories are quite closely linked to Icelandic folklore as well,” Edie shares. “I was also really interested in the idea that these places with extreme climates, harsh living conditions, throughout history have needed story as a sort of guidance – as in ‘don’t walk down this path’ or ‘don’t go near this animal.’ I think a lot of that must have come from survival and rumour.”
