WELCOME, Bienvenue to the roost of nordicblackbird
My carte de visite has long begun with the following words:
Poet, pirate, visual a artist, maritimer - natural world nomad, so fond of my 60N latitude. At the north end of Scotland, Shetland, aka Shetland Isles, stands out from its oceanic contours - like a collection of charmstones inside a blue casket. It is rugged and wild, with a plethora of hidden treasures; so strong a sense of place, defined by wind and salt. It is the very place where I live, breathe, write and photograph... It is a also a place I share with the rest of the world, who come ashore for a while.
WHY "Nordicblackbird"?
I chose this name as I flutter my love for this world through visual and poetical scapes. I live, breathe and paint landscapes through the pen, brush and lens - my way to celebrate the wonders of the shore.
In my Nordic home - Shetland - "roost" has a different meaning. It translates as "tidal race".
To the rest of the world, it is known as a place for birds to sleep. Now, far from sleeping, this website acts much more as as the place where you will find the poetics from my Nordic world.
Each page will lead you to a part of it - Photography, Blog, Geopoetics, Writer's Corner, Creative Connections and Lifelines.
