Det er koldt herinde (It is cold inside)

This was left on my design wall last time I was here, not sewed together, so I had to complete it before I could start on the current spate of works.

Det er koldt herinde

It is cold in here

112 x 112cm

The text is a corruption of a Danish song "It is cold out there", about winter.

I have written:

"Det er koldt herinde

Kun med sagte sus fra vinden

melder Håbet sig i sprækkens træk."

As poetry it doesn't translate well, and since I have kept much of the structure of the original, it doesn't have the same impact in English, but it says

"It is cold in here

only with soft whistling of the wind

Hope appears in the crack's draught.

And it was started in December last year, in the Christmas holiday, when the depression began.
