History speaks to artists. It changes the artist's thinking and is constantly reshaping it into different and unexpected images.

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.

Art is difficult. Its not entertainment.

I might have been born into a very literal sense of chaos, but in fact that state is true of all of us.

The book, the idea of a book or the image of a book, is a symbol of learning, of transmitting knowledge.. I make my own books to find my way through the old stories.

If I do something that depresses, it's not because I'm depressed, but because political life and history is depressing.

History is formed by the people, those who have power and those without power. Each one of us makes history.
