In Teddi's artwork can be found lines and feelings that are close to being the primeval power of art or the primitive need of art for mankind. Some of his work is reminscent of an ancient, 5,000 year old culture. It is as if the materials of the artwork embody time, age and experience that reflects the age and experience of the artist himself. The wood is not fit for the creative process until it has gathered enough tree rings, and has its own story to tell, wether it has drifted aimlessly around the seven seas or stood for decades as part of the pier at Reykjavik harbour. Decades of experience and a lifetime call for a new form, purpose or life. Teddi uses his sense of form as well as his knowledge from the print shop to find and create a new course in wood or metal. An old and broken propeller from a wreck in Skerjafjordur is given new life as a coppersculpture in an artwork, in the same way as art itself has perhaps called Teddi to work after his own possible shipwreck when he had sailed the seven seas for too long.

This was Teddi’s sixth private exhibition at the Pearl as well as being his 16th large exhibition.

Teddi´s creativity reflects in his work. He is outspoken, unnerved and keeps all his cards on the table. He's not bound by theories or specific lines of thought and seems not to wonder about conventionality and what is allowed, he is not afraid to experiment. He does not tie himself down with specific methods but is constantly searching, in his aluminium sculptures he is even further away from the primary creations, as they are cut by a laser beam programmed by the artist.
