This woodcut sculpture is a relief map of the Sweden-Norway land mass and surrounding oceans. It features a 3D wood cut bird with a person riding on its back, flying from the upper left corner of the art work.
A plaque with the sculpture states:
Avgångsklassen från Institutionen för slöjd vid Universitetet i Linköping
skänkte Nils Holgersson till Arlanda flygplats 1991.
Istället för lön för mödan röstade klassen för att Luftfartsverket skulle
skicka ett bidrag till Barnens Rätt i Samhället, BRIS.
Google translates this to be:
Graduating class from the Department of crafts at the University of Linköping
donated Nils Holgersson to Arlanda airport, 1991.
Instead of a reward voted class to CAA would
send a contribution to the Children's Rights in Society, BRIS.
