We only know what we ourselves have made
"What you are looking at are banners, formed by force and patience, a wounding by the wonders of this world. White air of hymns in fields of care, they are a gathering of signs, symbolic sympathies, abstracted revelations. To the paper memory of plants, of minerals and saints; for the recovery of light, I traced their form in fragments. As landscapes of last things, they are structured in silence. What we return to: a crystal rest." —Herbert Pfostl (title: Vico)
