Said about Nordic Light
Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the Nordic Light Festival. It was amazing! I really had no idea how great it would be. I am proud to have my name associated with your efforts. I look forward to working with you again in the future!

I will treasure my experience and all the wonderful relationships I made there.

Just a few words to tell you that I really loved my stay in Norway it was hard to come back to reality afterwards... I made there beside the good time I had some strong connections and some of them already turned to concrete.(so not just “Bla bla bla...°)

Don and I had such a marvelous time in Norway. Quite a revelation the place. Max loved it so much he told my mother that he was going to take her there on holiday. The festival itself was so friendly and refreshing and everyone so congenial. I particularly loved our boat trip to Grip and the sparring dinner with Klein.

In case you were worried, I got safely back to Paris. I wanted to kiss you since you do a lot of kissing and say how glad I was to get to know you and your gang and Peace on Earth and I found Nordic Light to be a fine festival, and Norway great. AND staying an extra day I was able to photograph really interesting things, from the plane, on the 100 meter oil supply boat and in the tunnel. Next time you're in Kristiansund go meet the person in charge of the tunnel work, she's a 1 meter 40 tall Korean geologist, the most incredibly beautiful person I saw in Norway.

The mix of exhibitors was wonderful, and it was a great pleasure for me to meet the others who also took part in the festival. I think you are all doing an outstanding job in putting together such a complex program. Let me say that it was extremely wonderful for me to again be with some of the people who have made my previous visits to Norway so special, including Morten Krogvold, Leif Preus and Johan Brun...all very special people to me. I was also so pleased to meet and work with so many new people that I hadn't previously met.

Greetings and Warm Remembrances of the Great Nordic Light Festival in lovely Kristiansund. then the long, long list of great things begins. In no particular order, how wonderful it was: the town, the people, the programming, the variety of exhibitions, the professionalism of the installations, the new friends we made, the travels in that wonderland of Fjords with the Webbs, the sail out into the Kristiansund seascape and also to Grip, the movies in the morning, that war film in particular, in the evening TV shows, the beer, the dancing, the opening and closing ceremonies, the openings of the shows, the students in my workshops, well it goes on and on, in fact, tears now flow into my eyes just to write all of this....there's really no other way to describe this memory of a lifetime than to say it was fucking wonderful!!!, We thank you.
