Description/Abstract:	Whilst artist in residence at Gæsteatelier Hollufgård, Denmark in June 2017, Andrea Gregson made two new works for the ArtPark, in situ for one year until 2018. One of the works Checkpoint is placed on the border of Glisholme Forest and the E20 a highway linking Fyn with Jutland and Sjaelland. The sculpture has an inside space, is a portal with two viewpoints, of the forest and the road. Designed for a person to stand inside, sketches of objects from the immediate area are pinned to the walls. It transfers the dilemma of the road onto the artwork and the paradox of this place. The sculpture acts as a folly for our times. Korssting, is a 6 metre curtain located at a broken section of the forest, punctured by a row of dead trees and the bellow of the motorway. The translation of the hand sewn text reads, “The one who stays silent, gives consent”, taken from a sampler given to the artist whilst in Denmark. The gift of this object represents being present, not staying silent. The needlework using the dimensions of the billboard questions our relation to nature.
