Notater vedrørende Skipper Klementes opstand og slaget ved Svendstrup mose. Afskrift efter Vendsyssel Aarbøger 1925 1933 - 1934

This notebook page by Niels Larsen Stevns, made at an unknown date with ink on paper, is a strange and intimate little thing. I can imagine Stevns hunched over this page, wrestling with text. See how the words crowd together, eager to spill out? The inky script feels urgent, like thoughts scribbled in the heat of the moment, a cascade of words barely contained within the ruled lines. The narrative shifts between darkness and light. You can feel the artist's hand in every stroke, every carefully formed letter. It reminds me of Cy Twombly's scrawls—the way the act of writing becomes a kind of drawing, a dance between intention and chance. Like Twombly, Stevns transforms language into something visceral. It reminds me that art-making, in whatever form, is fundamentally about searching, questioning, and finding new ways to express the messy, complicated realities of being human. It's all one big, beautiful conversation that we’re having with each other, across time and space.
