Tryggvi Thorlief
Larum: Icelandic- American Sculptor. On a mist
shrouded bluff overlooking California's North Coast, Tryggvi sculpts images
inspired from the art and archaeology of Northern Europe's Bronze and Iron
Age.
"My art is a re-imagined perspective of expression, reflecting Nordic cultural influences, forged in echoes of ancestry, steeped in the haunting imagery of my people's past. The purpose of my work is to give new life and authentic expression to the tradition of Icelandic and Nordic art. As an Icelandic immigrant to this country, I want to bridge the ancient perspective of my ancestors and the magnificent materials available here in my adopted land. |
| Gaukler Medieval Wares makes
jewellery and metalwork in ancient and medieval styles, using the methods
and materials of the past. I do custom work, as long as the design is medieval
or earlier. We also sell authentic ancient and medieval antiquities. As much
as possible, I use the methods and materials appropriate to each piece. This
means that I get to spend a great deal of time doing research, both in libraries
and in museums. At times, I spend more time doing the research than making
the piece. |
