My works are cast in oak panels using standard wall filler.
In this work, I used a modified pantograph to simultaneously make two identical drawings of different sizes. I borrowed the title from the chorus of a song by the Swedish prog band Blå Tåget - "One hand knows what the other is doing" [Den ena handen vet vad den andra gör]. In a capitalist society, state and capital are two sides of the same thing. It's not a question of copy and original. There is neither a puppet master nor a master plan, but they interact and guide each other subtly towards a common goal.
