Lost for words
Wall-painting, graphite drawings and poems on paper, custom frames
2023

For “All that lies between” at 2023 Drawing Triennial 2023, I presented a wall painting and four custom frames holding poems and graphite drawings on paper. These sculptural frames are inspired by floating, twisted and bent sheets of paper - shapes I have found conceptually interesting for some years now.

Each framed work is a meditation on one of four words: I, you, Other and mother. This has been an important work, bringing together poetry, spatial use of typography, diagrammatic drawing, and playful, experimental frames.

This artwork was made possible thanks to funding by Kulturdirektoratet and Billedkunstnernes Vederlagsfond.
