Literature

In Viggo Sten Møller’s book "En bok om Barbro Nilsson", pp. 34–35, Eva von Zweigbergk is quoted:

“Both lyrical and magnificent is one of the most recent major works, Sandbotten [Seabed], an enormous, densely woven knotted pile carpet made for Svenska Handelsbanken, in which the violet shadows across the sand convey an intense sense of how the sun shines even in a winter-darkened room.”
