Catalogue Texts, 2009–2020

Foreword

I first met Trine in my Frederiksberg studio in the autumn of 2008. I remember that it was raining. Trine drew inspiration for the text she later wrote about my monochromes from an oak tree in the courtyard outside my studio, and from the way the autumn rain outlined the tree’s contours on the paving stones.

I met Melissa in the summer of 2009 at Crown Point Press in San Francisco, where I produced a series of aquatints. We talked about my work. At the time it was very valuable to receive feedback that gave me an international perspective on my work.

Between my work and the texts of these two writers there is a concordance, a kind of resonance. I am very grateful for their insights.
