Turið Nolsøe ph.d. in rhetoric:
“In addition to the words, Eyðunardóttir uses granny knots (kellingaknútar in Faroese) as representations of the bracketed tangles in society. The granny knots tie the text-installation together as a critique of a deadlocked situation which ought to be solved, and together with the text “An attempt not to write in brackets” emphasizes the limits of the Faroese language; how it carries too much shame, too much resistance to acknowledging that abortion exists in the Faroe Islands and in Faroese.”
