"We cannot help observing that the patterns in which the nails have been hammered always follow the contours of the independently expressive shapes of the tin patches. The nailheads are thus seen as primarily functional. Yet each one (and its individual placement in space and its relationship to every other nailhead) is, mysteriously, more than purely funcional, more than its polarity, merely decorative. While logically they are vital to secure the tin patches, they also create their own abstract pattern. It is as though the pattern of nailheads carrys a cryptic message that must be deciphered...Kobayashi's nailhead patterns are closer, surely, to the felicitous correspondences of nature." — Michael Florescu
