“Very early on I began drawing black-and-white ornaments charged with the palpable fear of owls I often saw at dawn, trapped beneath the entrance canopies. Within these rhythms I inscribed the silhouettes of reindeer herders, framing them with the sharp line of the tundra’s endless horizon. The sun was always the principal conductor—the center of my compositions—because in winter it makes the snow burn crimson, and in summer it refuses to leave the horizon, circling day after day above my head… This turned me into a particular kind of person, capable of being whiter than snow and thinking like snow.” Andy Barrt
