Instead of absence, we now have presence. A presence that is marked and corporeal – in the several senses of both words. Seen from this perspective, Jeppe Sleepingdoes begin like a statement: all the more so since any line has the capacity to stand as a statement, by being an inscription, exteriorization, affirmation. But here, although produced with the proclamatory act of inscribing, the motion of incision, assertion through applied pressure, the work nevertheless takes a slightly different turn.

The works were made at the Danish Art Workshops with generous support from the City of Copenhagen Council of Visual Art, Danish Arts Foundation, Danish Tennis Foundation, Den Hielmstierne-Rosencroneske Stiftelse, the Faroese Culture Foundation, the Faroese Ministry of Culture, and New Carlsberg Foundation.
