Two decorated boats for Sankthans (midsummer)
Tjøme, 1960
#sometimes i celebrate sankthans by the fjord around sandefjord#and people in that area still decorate their boats with twigs of leaves and flowers and sail out the fjord in their decorated boats#i really love it and i wish i were there today

when I was a kid I wished I had nosebleeds. I had some friends who had them and I was like. that looks so fucking cool. you're just sitting there and suddenly you're covered in blood. it looks so dramatic. it looks so... and here my language failed me. at such a humble age I did not have the vocabulary to describe the sublime. I just sat in incomprehensible jealousy. I turned out totally normal by the way
#forst year of uni i hade a period of time where i kept getting nosebleeds whike doing ancient greek#once in class the other tines while doing my homework

I made a woodcut where I was able to channel some of my feelings of sadness and despair and melancholy, sort of Kollwitz-inspired in style. One of the first prints I've been really happy and satisfied with for a long time, so I sent a picture of it to my dad, who was really impressed by it. But when I met up with him it turned out that he'd been CONVINCED the print was a portrait... of HIM. #ourmelancholy
