In the 1983 Documentary 'Triangle' AG noted that:
'The Sand Wiggle was not only about the material I've used but about the conditions around it. I believe very strongly that material is not only about itself, to understand it properly you have to understand the space around it. I mean that told you why and how it got there, where it's going and the rest. But the Sand Wiggle was about the very early morning light it was a very sunny summer and I could depend on the sun, which is unusual. I started this work just before the sun came up in the morning and I brought the sand to an edge to catch the morning light its in a very fluid form which I suppose subconsciously reflects the presence of the sea.'
