Homecoming
Group show at Vendsyssel Kunstmuseum in Hjørring with younger artists, originating from Northern Jutland, Denmark, where the museum is located.
Misty (A Dream of Beauty and Destruction)
2007
ice, low fog machine
Dawn (An Awakening of Rebellious Feelings)
2007
acrylic and spraypaint on canvas
90x120 cm
The short-lived piece Misty (A Dream of Beauty and Destruction) sets the stage for Dawn (An Awakening of Rebellious Feelings) and for a brief moment the two pieces merge together as Misty Dawn (A Dream of Beauty and Destruction and An Awakening of Rebellious Feelings).
The flag painting Dawn (An Awakening of Rebellious Feelings) is based on an actual flag, Vendelbrog, the independence flag of North Jutland Island. It’s a flag that was designed in 1976, the same year I was born, and presented to the public by the mayor of Hjørring the same year, as a symbol of independence for this region of Denmark. The colours of the flag represent romantic values; blue as the sea, golden as the beach and green as the forest. The flag was conceived 30 years ago, the same year as I was born, and to this day there has been no success in liberating that part of Denmark from the rest.
