The Artist on Art

Quotes / Opinions / Reflections

Dagmar1b„Deprived of sight, we make visions. Seeing is also creating.“

„Once, in an unfamiliar hallway, I mistook myself for a stranger, because I did not understand I was looking in a mirror. My own form took me by surprise because I was not oriented in space. Expectation is crucial to perception.“

„We feel colors before we can name them. Colors act on us pre-reflectively. A part of me feels red before I can name red. My cognitive faculties lag behind the color’s impact. Standing in a room, I look first at the vase of red tulips because they are red and because they are alive.“
