Catalogue Note
"Art is a stream that must flow. Seen from a distance it may always look much the same. Still, even as a stream of live water, its body is being constantly organically renewed. And the activity of its surface flotations, like the leaves, twigs and inserts on the surface of a stream, is an indication of its vitality: when the same surface flotations remain overlong in view, when their movement is sluggish, it is very unlikely that the water is healthy." James Johnson Sweeney
