spiritual places

Christina Henrysson continues her search for so-called thin places in the pictures Nallo and Dynjandi; “I continue my work with Thin places in a free way, by depicting my own places.

In her acclaimed Thin places suite, Christina Henrysson investigates the so-called thin places of pre-Christian Celtic culture. In these places, it was believed that only a thin membrane separated the earthly and heavenly worlds, and the boundaries were dissolved here, so that one could experience both dimensions simultaneously. While working on the series, she visited these places, documented them with an analog camera and then transferred the images to hand-printed intaglio prints.

Now the artist continues her exploration: “I continue my work with Thin places in a free way, by depicting my own places, which are often located far away or at the edge of a landmass. In the process, I have now worked on creating a more intense color in the expression of the images."

Dynjandi and Nallo are the names of Henrysson's new prints. They are both produced in the same way as the Thin Places works, hand-printed in small editions of only 12 copies.
