“Whatever meets the eye, it is all nature. On the ground, on walls, on paper, chance creates landscapes from dust, from waste. By taking something out of this random arrangement, I give it meaning and a name. I say: ‘This is it’. ...They are the same natural things as mountains, gravel channels, watercourses. Created from the forces of nature, gravity, the nature of water, the properties of the earth. But then seen by me, lifted out, brought into the picture, grasped. Above all, found.”
Max Weiler, 1975, p. 40
