Originality Is Merely An Illusion.

Wonder Is The Salt Of The Earth.

Although I Am Even Now Still A Layman In The Area Of Mathematics, And Although I Lack Theoretical Knowledge, The Mathematicians, And In Particular The Crystallographers, Have Had Considerable Influence On My Work Of The Last Twenty Years. The Laws Of The Phenomena Around Us--order, Regularity, Cyclical Repetition, And Renewals--have Assumed Greater And Greater Importance For Me. The Awareness Of Their Presence Gives Me Peace And Provides Me With Support. I Try In My Prints To Testify That We Live In A Beautiful And Orderly World, And Not In A Formless Chaos, As It Sometimes Seems.

I Believe That Producing Pictures, As I Do, Is Almost Solely A Question Of Wanting So Very Much To Do It Well.

There Is Something Breathtaking About The Basic Laws Of Crystals. They Are In No Sense A Discovery Of The Human Mind; They Just "are" - They Exist Quite Independently Of Us. The Most That Man Can Do Is Become Aware, In A Moment Of Clarity, That They Are There, And Take Cognizance Of Them.

I Don't Use Drugs, My Dreams Are Frightening Enough.
