To Place is an ongoing series of publications. Each volume is a unique dialogue addressing the relationship between identity and place. The books take as their starting point Iceland and the evolving experiences of the author in this country.

Book IV : Pooling Waters Volume 1: A collection of photographs united by the near invisible presence of the geothermally heated waters of Iceland. The structures built to access and utilize these waters range from the remote and inaccessible hot pot to power plants and baptismal fonts. Volume 2 : A collection of 36 texts- short anecdotal pieces, essays and short stories gathered from the author’s experiences in Iceland.
