Literature
Kaj Kalin, "Sarpaneva", Otava förlag, 1986. Pp 64-65, "Lancet a sculpture that has risen out of music, is feeling in form. What it presents varies from one person to another. Sarpaneva has succeeded in capturing in the material a feeling sensed deeply inside, like a rare butterfly in a net"
