I was interested in transcendence from a very early age. I was interested in what was over there, what was behind life. So when I had my first communion I was very disappointed. I had expected something amazing and surprising and spiritual. Instead all I got was a bicycle. That wasn't what I was after at all.

I am interested in reconstructing symbols. It's about connecting with an older knowledge and trying to discover continuities in why we search for heaven.

I grew up in a forest. It's like a room. It's protected. Like a cathedral... it is a place between heaven and earth.

I am against the idea of the end, that everything culminates in paradise or judgment.

I never see a forest that does not bear a mark or a sign of history.

Art is difficult. Its not entertainment.

I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art.
