"When people go to the ocean, they like to see it all day. There’s nobody living who could not stand all afternoon in front of a waterfall. It’s a simple experience, you become lighter and lighter in weight, you wouldn’t want anything else. Anyone who can sit on a stone in a field awhile can see my painting. Nature is like a curtain; you go into it. I want to draw a certain response but that quality of response from people when they leave themselves behind, often experienced in nature- an experience of simple joy… The simple, direct going into a field for vision as you would cross an empty beach to look at the ocean.” from a MOMA wall label
