Catalogue Note
“As I am pursuing my idea, the painting becomes my counterpart: I am not fighting it; it is more like a form of collaboration and cooperation. I spend a long time looking at what has come about, and from there move on to the next stage. I work with awareness of how chaotic nature is; something that I do not plan may happen. I paint water often, but I don’t depict it; it is the paint itself that flows.” Pat Steir, 2002
