"It’s never me who determines the final form of a piece. I like the unexpected and the uncertain. The inconstancy and impermanence of matter. The entire scope of human endeavor has been aimed at fixating, at creating institutional structures which can oppose change, maintain. And nature is the exact opposite of this, a permanent state of transformation, mutation, change. Carved onto the surfaces of walls in chiselled simple contrasts, revealing the rough
layers that lie beneath'."
"In this act of excavating, it’s the process itself which is
expressive, more than the final result. It’s a process of trying to
reflect upon our own layers. Its aim is not to come up with solutions but to conduct research, to
confront systems, materials, processes, elements, to create friction and confront the individual with the process, with the system: an active critical
process that stems from the same environment upon which it aims to
reflect.'
