SANCTUARY
– An exhibition at Frederikshavn Art Museum, Denmark, March-April 2014.
Gina Hedegaard Nielsen, Denmark

When creating the works for this exhibition, my focus was the duality of life – exposed here in three different works.

From the exhibition Sanctuary.

04. Sanctuary Fragile Life is more than one hundred eggshells lying on the floor. The eggshells are fragile and all made of paper and telling the story of life and Death.

Guano is manipulated photos (prints) of bird excrements turned into a graphic statement. It shows the surprising beauty of guano which we mostly find ugly and disgusting.

06. Sanctuary My Seagull Family is a series of portraits of the seagulls living around the house in which I stayed for a month. The drawings are caricatures made with pastels.
