Krispigt vita med blå himmelsbakgrund. Stubbar och nyplanterade granruskor som sticker upp. Porslinslandskapen i Lappland. Kalhyggen är som onaturliga tomrum som väntar på att fyllas med liv igen. Kalhyggen skapar sprickor i landskapet, trasiga fragment.

'I see them as a wound in the landscape, I am fascinated, all these clear-cuts of dead trees surround the village, sticking up like cylinders.'

It is winter, it arrives and is experienced, its nowness, its thisness, its specifics cap a sense of time. Trees, take root, grow and die, and this process is used to our advantage, planting trees where we want and felling where we do not. A communal wound. The landscape, measured in centuries – a constant state of flux, advancing, retreating, advancing – too slow for our impatient minds.
