If art is not living in a continuous present, it is living in a museum, only those working now can complete the circuit between the past, present and future energies we call art.”

“Infancy is the realm conveyed to us in dreams which look backward to the past. Adolescence, more like a work of art, is a prospective symbol of personal synthesis and of the future of humankind.
