The Stone Carvings of Páll Guðmundsson

Peeking out from under flinty slivers of grass, the Stone Carvings of Páll Guðmundsson allude to a strange legend in the town of Húsafell. Native rocks of varied shapes, sizes, and colors are inscribed with soulless faces that evoke a certain haunting quality; all representing artist Páll Guðmundsson's unique creations. The rock-faces are depictions of 18 ghosts who were laid to rest at this remote Icelandic site near Guðmundsson's home. The collection is collectively referred to as the 'Ghost Fold', a title that harks back to the unsettling legend of this village. Among Páll Guðmundsson's other creations is also a similar arrangement of eclectic rock art, located in the valley of Bæjargi.
