Many thanks to the Danish Arts Foundation – for their two-year working grant 2026-2027!
Work in progress:
In recent years I have embarked on a figurative visual universe, aimed at a book publication. This in the form of graphite drawings. They are based on a number of older images that I have mainly selected according to the criteria: Origin: Denmark / Period: The Absolute Monarchy / Genre: Untrained/anonymous, documentary image-making. This loosely circumscribed image category has long been a cherished area of interest, and here I find many of the expressive qualities I myself like to pursue — such as matter-of-factness, care, and an "estranged visual accent." I have therefore singled it out as an environment to operate in, for a time — with free rein for both imitation and unrestrained maneuvers.
