"These works are not conventional anthologies of poetry but clearly belong to the genre of artists’ books in which all the elements are united by a common idea. Although these are early works by Parygin, the artist managed to give each of them a distinctive tone that contributes to a polyphonic sound, characteristic of his book art. The first of these four books was Sand. It creates a feeling of the passage of time, like the grains of existence running through an hourglass."
