Icelandic artist Björk Guðmundsdóttir called a state of emergency for the Icelandic highlands last week at a press conference with environmentalist Andri Snær Magnason. At the conference, Björk wore a spectacular mask by British mask maker James Merry. 

This was revealed today by Magnason on his Facebook page. 

An article on Hint Magazine describes Merry as working with the hand of a craftsman and the soul of an artist. 

"For the British native — who splits his time between bustling New York and a remote cabin in Iceland, surrounded only by mossy outcroppings and fields of lavender — it's all about quiet contemplation and profound transformation."

Merry has made several masks for Björk with their collaboration beginning with the Biophilia album.
