Lot Essay

‘There’s this incredibly slow part that happens when dealing with decisions made by Nature; to make the works dry, frost, fade in the
sunlight, and age the way I’d like them to. It can easily take months before I apply another brushstroke or a spill that is yet again a
decision made in a split second’ (F. Værslev, quoted in E. Rosales, ‘Finishing Touches’, in Mousse Magazine, no. 28, April 2011, p. 237).
