Catalogue Note
“It’s like this acceptance thing, the idea of understanding, this idea of perfection being an acceptance of one’s intuition. Like Japanese scrolls or Chinese scrolls or calligraphy. That’s what I’m most into: the idea of the perfect gesture. And what makes it perfect is just an acceptance of it for what it is. It’s like when you stop trying you can actually do it; it’s that understanding of one’s state of mind.”
