‘a pair
of scissors is a wonderful instrument. working with scissors in this
paper is an occupation i can lose myself in….my pleasure in cutting
things out grows ever greater. why didn’t I think of it earlier? more
and more i feel that one can express with the simplest cut-outs what one
might want to express as a draughtsman or painter. by entering into the
object one comes into one’s own. i had to make this budgerigar with
coloured paper. well, i have become a budgie! and in the wok i found
myself. the chinese sage said that one must grow with the tree. i know
nothing truer….. but i know that only much later will people realise how
much what i do today was in accord with the future.’
