To Have Peace With This Peculiar Life;

We Adore Chaos Because We Love To Produce Order.

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 Might Be In The Basement. I'll Go Upstairs And Check. We Adore Chaos Because We Love To Produce Order. I Don't Use Drugs; My Dreams Are Frightening Enough.

Science And Art Sometimes Can Touch One Another, Like Two Pieces Of The Jigsaw Puzzle Which Is Our Human Life, And That Contact May Be Made Across The Boderline Between The Two Respective Domains.

I Think I Have Never Yet Done Any Work With The Aim Of Symbolizing A Particular Idea, But The Fact That A Symbol Is Sometimes Discovered Or Remarked Upon Is Valuable For Me Because It Makes It Easier To Accept The Inexplicable Nature Of My Hobbies, Which Constantly Preoccupy Me.
