| "Gintaras is Lithuanian for amber. Writer Sasnaitis's family originates from Lithuania, one of the Baltic states where amber has been gathered, mined, traded and treasured since antiquity. In this collaboration, amber represents the turbulent relationship between earth and air, stasis and movement, father and daughter. Sasnaitis's text weaves between Crawford's images of traditional Baltic textile patterns and pages of brilliantly coloured cellophane that imitate the infinite variations of amber."
