… / …, 2021.
On January 21, 2020 museum staff at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse (Norfolk) allowed me to hold and touch an object, which had the impact of an iconic emergence: the Dogger harpoon (also named: Colinda harpoon). Both blade and shuttle, this part of a stag’s horn (a piece of red deer antler) brought the Ground Sea project to full completion. My leporello contains a photograph that I made of this Bronze Age spear on that day, in the form of a postcard. It is combined with two postcards: one representing beach aster flowering on a cold winter morning (February 5, 2020) at Gullsway (Lowestoft); and one made from a photograph that I took of the Rond point des droits de l’homme in Calais on February 15, 2020, which is a monument that pays tribute to Thomas Paine, “citizen of the world.”
Three postcards leporello, Munken 300g, each postcard measuring 12,2x14,6 cm. Brussels, De Blinkerd Editions #4.
