Catalogue Note
"I have tried to make a language that is not a meaningless symbol, a pretend language, but at the same time cannot be as specific as a symbol for, say, a hurricane, or a house, or whatever... Sometimes I think it is all subjective, in the sense of intensity... but it is so real to me that it feels 'real'." - Robert Motherwell
