The series Dock District just landed! The series is, as earlier Nordenström prints, thermographic prints. This means that a plate is pressed into the paper where it makes an impression, but no color has been put on the plate. It is only the embossment that make up the image, and the shadows create the artwork.

Maps and drawings in recent years have become a starting point for Lina Nordenström’s work. The "myopic reading" that characterizes map reading, has been an important part of the allure of maps. By doing white outline maps in thermographic printing, she has made it possible to "read" them with your fingers, while the picture character of the object is enhanced in this way.
