Thingvellir Geology (2025) Original Ink Drawing by Steve Potts

Small scale ink and wash drawing. Thingvellir was one of the most extraordinary places we visited on our Iceland trip in 2025. The rift valley where the tectonic plates are pulling apart is genuinely unlike anything I have seen, and the drawing is an attempt to make sense of a landscape that seems to be in the middle of becoming something else. The fractured, angular quality of the terrain suited an approach that lets the ink make its own decisions.
