More information
"The only 15 cm high 'In and Out' in silver-plated bronze originally had a different title 'The Mountain Gives Birth'. It is an odd piece that seems to anticipate the later international art wave, inspired by megalithic monuments of the type found at Stonehenge or Carnac, or by our own dolmens and passage graves. Art borrows magic from such ancient works. They evade definitive interpretations and remain enigmas." Rolf Söderberg, Sveriges Allmänna Konstförening, 1991, "Arne Jones", p. 94
