Article by Charlotte Blanche Myrvold
”Det er et veldig, veldig fint kunstverk. Det er et svart bord, på den ene siden er det enstor haug med masse sand, på den andre siden er det bitte litt sand og en slags maskin med enkamera-aktig ting som lyser på en skjerm. Og på den skjermen er det noen store steiner, men desteinene er egentlig de bitte små sandkornene som er blitt forstørret. Større enn hodet mitt.Og det er spennende. Wow!”
