Example I:
St. Mary's Hospice,
Denmark
The words "...to live until you die"
lead to the key words discreet joy. A decoration based on the
key
words discreet joy calls for the use of bright (cheerful)
colors,
which I used on the stairs and in the corridors.
In the rooms discreet floral motifs from
the Danish flora have been chosen on the basis of the lily.
Each individual room is thus identified
by a flower and not a number or letter. One of these flowers is the
violet.
There are a total of 12
different floral motifs.
The motifs are printed in silk screen printing,
each motif in 200 copies, which I have numbered and signed. The motifs
have also been printed on post cards.
See St. Mary's
Hospice.
Example II:
Red Cross
Donation of a logo motif of The Great Belt
Bridge for the opening.
Example III
Amnesty International
Donation of a motif of a Church for Christmas
stamps.
Example IV:
Y's Men's Club
Donation of a motif of a City Hall for Christmas
stamps.
Example V:
Bridging the
World
It is about founding an
organization to promote mutual understanding among people world wide.
On 15th december 2003 it has been launched. See ambassador.

Example VI:
Red Cross Refugee
Center Randers
In January 2002 I will be a Visiting Teacher
in a project called "Stories, from ear to eye" where I will inspire
refugees
to create a huge sculpture and make an exhibition of this
sculpture.
Then they are artists, not refugees. At the same time I will interview
these new artists about their lives, print these stories and put them
inside
the sculpture. The stories will be presented in an e-book on my
web site and preferably on Red Cross' web site too.
My idea is to make a huge sculpture in simple
shapes and bright colors, an optimistic sculpture and put the
refugees'
bad memories inside the sculpture. Not to forget their past, it can not
be forgotten, bud to make a emblem in their minds, which will pop up
before
or at the same time as the bad memories. The
e-book will be illustrated by a lot of pictures of the genesis of the
sculpture.
The sculpture will be built of water proof materials in order to be
exhibited
outdoor later.
I know these are high ambitions, but that
is what art is for.
A part of the project is of course to communicate
this vision to the Danish Society - that is why we make the exhibition.
Jørgen Poulsen, Red Cross Denmark or Bertel Haarder, Minister of
Refugees etc. will be asked to open the exhibition.
