Catalogue Note
“The forms of my work have never particularly interested me. What has been my search really is for a material, a particle of a material. It’s finding a material or a unit of material like a brick of the right size and the right shade and density and so forth— from finding this particle, I would combine it with others to make a work." Carl Andre
