“To our senses, the elements are four and have ever been, and will ever be for they are the elements of life, of poetry, and of perception, the four Great Ones, the Four Roots, the First Four of Fire and the Wet, Earth and the wide Air of the World. To find the other many elements, you must go to the laboratory and hunt them down. But the four we have always with us, they are our world. Or rather, they have us with them.” WorldFirstsEarthScienceFireFourAirElementsPerceptionRootsWideSensesOur WorldWetHuntsLaboratoryGreat OnesElements Of Life Book:Delphi Complete Works of D.H.

“Like a researcher in his laboratory, I am the first spectator of the suggestions drawn from the materials. I unleash their expressive possibilities, even if I do not have a very clear idea of what I am going to do. As I go along with my work I formulate my thought, and from this struggle between what I want and the reality of the material - from this tension - is born an equilibrium.” IfsWantFirstsIdeasRealityBornStruggleClearPossibilityMaterialsTensionSuggestionsMy ThoughtsSpectatorsLaboratoryEquilibriumResearchersExpressive Author:Antoni Tapies
