“If you're going to be a visual artist, then there has to be something in the work that accounts for the possibility of the invisible, the opposite of the visual experience.

It has no business being anything else but a table. But a painting or a sculpture really exists somewhere between itself, what it is, and what it is not-you know, the very thing. And how the artist engineers or manages that is the question.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsHardMightArtistCarPossibilityPaintingOppositesAccountsTablesInvisibleManageVisualsEngineersSculptureVisual ArtVisual Artist Author:Richard Tuttle
