Olafur Thordarson brings us the fresh element  of surprise, experimentation, guts and daring to create art/objects-often intertwined-into objects of desire, full of surprises and innovation...his red cabinet, which is substantially made of 800 pieces of furring strips is an ingenious combination of the old and new.    George Beylerian
