"Beauty of the faded. I am attached to the old materials – mica broken glass, old sheet metal, etc. I combine them with objet trouvé and sometimes with light. I use stories, contained in discarded things and I compose them into a rebus; the flesh of understanding. A story familiar to everybody isn't interesting. Neither is the story that nobody understands."

Marten Winter, 1992
