Draft for a medallion for the Authors' Association.

Hanne Varming's sculptures are well-known in public spaces, where her honest depictions of humans blend into the cityscape - as a commentary on our lives, but also a call for interaction and reflection. In Varming's works, the process itself is an important part of the work and the artistic expression. The modeling in clay is absolutely central, as she deliberately allows this special modeling to be seen in the bronze. She doesn't try to polish or smooth out. On the contrary, she lets the creation process shine through, whether it is larger monumental sculptures, smaller figures or, as here the author Karen Blixen's well-known counter-fee.
