kirkens korshaer
The project I’ve been working on here in Guldagergaard is with kirkens korshaer, and here are a few pieces based on anastasia, whose mum and grandmother both work in the shop.

Excerpt from diary 2 November
‘Searching for solitude I head to the beach by bike, as much as I am fascinated and inspired by these 15 passionate people I need my time alone. Walking, walking, walking. I find a bone with a sharp fin shaped section and curved translucent main section, not sure if it is from land or sea. The noise of a small plane mixes with the constant lapping of water. A few minutes pass. Horses appear, serene and quiet in their trekking. The gentle splashes of the horses break the pattern of the waves.
