"What we consider our visible and recognizable reality is connected with a reality that we don't see. And when I peck at it, lets say with an object like the nail, to combine them in order to proclaim both realities, I sometimes succeed in creating a sort of visual poetry. [..] I strive to tie things in with one another, the utterable with the unutterable and to render pictorial accounts thereof."
