Happy Halloween! My favourite holiday 👻
Every year I do a Halloween self portrait and this year I’m going as Rán, the Norse goddess of the sea and shipwrecks. She creates sea storms and is known to drown sailors and ships using her magical net. She’s been mentioned as far back as 800AD in the Viking era.
I created this headpiece during a workshop by the legendary Clare Garvey and the rest of the costume features nets and ropes, I even used my new knot-tying skills from my powerboat license course for this!
The self portraits were taken in a fjord in Norway while on a short break, it was a magical place. Everything in this is real apart from the Viking ship and I made my eyes lighter in the edit 😁
I’ve just arrived in Reykjavík where I’ll celebrate with friends, hope you all have a wonderful Halloween weekend too!
I am so tired from travelling that I almost signed off this post like an email 😂
Best regards,
Cat
