I am participating in the art project Art of Fundamental Rights organised by the Danish NGO Nyt Europa (New Europe). The project aims to highlight EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights. I’m interpreting the chapter of Dignity. The art works will tour to European cities in 2021- 2022.
200 young people from schools and courses in Nakskov participated in the project Nature, Landscape – Paper. They spent the day at Trappegalleriet beginning with conversations about the human interventions in other parts of nature and landscape in relation to the art works on show. After the initial conversations in the gallery we continued to work outside, making performative exercises in ‘Indrefjorden’ centered on elements of nature. Finally the young people participated in two workshops, sculpting in paper pulp and drawing.
The project was supported by The Danish Arts Foundation, Lolland City Council and Trappegalleriet.
The audio stories created by the team at Borup Library are now ready for listening. The stories, which center around four elements of nature, can be experienced at my four sculptures.

On November 7th ‘Art School at Sjælsmark’ held a communal family workshop at Center Avnstrup. All participants were collectively making clay reliefs. The workshop was part of the social art project ‘Ceramic Reliefs – Imprints in Clay’ inviting all residents at Center Sjælsmark and Center Avnstrup to take part in the making of collective ceramic works. Thirteen ceramic reliefs have so far been produced at a series of art workshops where both children and adults have been participating. The first series has already been exhibited at Hørsholm Library and a new exhibition is planned to open on January 29th at Roskilde Library.
