They are then brought together to form combinations generating new or altered meanings. In his literary work he follows the same method, only with sentences instead of images, and making use of exclusively found material. In both cases the work originates from his fascination for the possibilities of combining \u0026#39;used\u0026#39; materials into something completely new, by means of association and suggestion.

Die worden door hem samengebracht tot combinaties die op hun beurt nieuwe of andere betekenissen voortbrengen. In zijn literaire werk hanteert hij dezelfde methode, maar dan met zinnen in plaats van beelden, en met louter en alleen gevonden materiaal.
