Press and blog articles featuring Sandow Birk's, "American Qur'an"
Los Angeles Times, A New Image for the Qur’an, by Sharon Mizota, August, 30, 2009
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2009/08/a-new-image-for-the-koran.html
“Executed in ink and gouache in an understated, realist style, many of the 16- by- 24-inch works depict everyday sights — urban street life, office workers in their cubicles, a pregnant couple in their front yard. Others represent more historic moments, such as the smoking towers of the World Trade Center or a funeral with a casket draped in a U.S. flag.”

Cow Maze idea
"Electric wire defines a simplified version of the maze from the movie 'The Shining' on a field of 50x100 meters.
During 3 months, cows were eating the accessible grass while in the in-betweens spaces the grass was allowed to grow high.
Now, the drawing of the maze is clearly visible from above and from space."
