This page of script, written in pen by Niels Larsen Stevns, feels like a personal, almost private, moment. I think artmaking is like that too; it's so much about the process, the intimate act of creation. The script is dense, with a real sense of layering and texture as each letter forms a word, and the words form a sentence. You can almost feel the hand moving across the page, committing thoughts to paper. It's like a dance, a flow of consciousness made visible. Look closely, and you can almost see the different pressures and speeds of the hand as it moves along. The overall impression is one of intimacy and immediacy, as if we're eavesdropping on the artist's thoughts. It reminds me of Cy Twombly's script paintings, where the act of writing becomes a form of drawing. I think art is constantly borrowing and building on what came before. Nothing comes from nowhere. And, ultimately, art is about creating a space for ambiguity, for endless possibilities.
