Portrait of Liv Thorsen

01 · Fine line, botanical

Liv Thorsen

Liv came from a print workshop and still thinks in plates. Her lines are thin and they stay thin: she draws for how a piece looks in ten years, not ten days.

Portrait of Emil Vang

02 · Engraving, maritime

Emil Vang

Emil collects old sea charts and draws the way they were cut, line beside line. His pieces are big and slow, and worth sitting still for.

Portrait of Nadia Berg

03 · Blackwork, ornamental

Nadia Berg

Nadia starts with the shape of your body and fits the black to it. If a line does not need to be there, it goes.

Portrait of Aske Lind

04 · Dotwork, geometry

Aske Lind

Aske builds every shade from single dots, so nothing has a hard edge unless he wants one. Bring a playlist. It takes a while.
