The expression ‘no man's land’ refers to a place where people cannot go or where their existence is acutely threatened. This can be the contested front section of a battlefield, the buffer zone between two countries, or the inaccessible area in front of a medieval city wall. The term has a history of over 1000 years and is first mentioned in William the Conqueror's Doomsday Book, a record of the royal properties' land value. Without depicting a specific location, the monotypes from the drawing series alternate between desolate landscapes and agitated bodies. They pose the question: where is our no man's land?
