Into the margin/In the marrow
This is a woodcut printmaking project based on the book as body, form and platform. It is about the formal aesthetic layout of a book, but also about references to the bodily. In norwegian you have the expression "to feel something into the marrow" leads to reflections on identity and feelings. Also the word marrow is the same as margin. The book's margin offers space for the eye and space for your own notes. It becomes a way to communicate with the author's voice. The types, i.e. the letters in the prints, are found objects. Random bits that others have made. The woodcuts are shown both as framed pictures on the wall, and bound as pages in five different books.
