Hormoslyr was a herbicide that was sprayed over the Swedish forests during the 1960’s and 70’s to kill deciduous trees. In the forest by Lake Eggelats in Norrbotten in northern Sweden there is an old airstrip for herbicide planes. Today, 40 years later, there are still hardly any birch trees in the forest, only birch corpses in the moss. The art work is a way of visualising a border but also a way of re-locating a place through the act of drawing. Through this work I want to draw attention to a forgotten history that up to this day has large effects on the landscape.
