This is Niels Larsen Stevns' "Notater. Peder Dyrskjøts beretning om faderens død. Uddrag fra "Borgervennen" 1799." It looks like it was made with ink on paper. Imagine the artist, hunched over this page, the pen scratching across the surface. There's a real intimacy to this, isn’t there? I am wondering if the artist was thinking about time, mortality, and remembrance. The writing is so dense, almost claustrophobic. You can feel the weight of the story, the gravity of the words. It is really quite amazing to me how writing – like painting – can become this act of bearing witness. It is a kind of embodied expression, this act of writing. The hand moving across the page, the pressure of the pen, the flow of ink, the rhythm of language. It's like Stevns is inviting us into a shared space of reflection. What do you think?
