Guestbook

Thousands of visitors, from around the globe, visited the installation throughout the week. Here are some excerpts from the guestbook that we had on-site:

• "The combination of the video and narrative, with life-size transparencies of the Sandhogs, makes me feel like they are speaking to me on the job. It is truly wonderful and very powerful."

• "This is the best work of public art I can remember. Thank you for enriching and enlightening our daily lives."

• "This exhibit is awesome, enlightening words are inadequate. Thank you for showing me something I have never seen before; hearing the voices of these men and what they have to say about their work is the real message! Thanks again."
