"You have to differentiate between memories.
Are you going to them or are they coming to you?
If you are going to them, you are wasting time.
Nostalgia is not prodoctive.
If they come to you, they are the seeds for sculpture."
(Louise Bourgois)

I would like the work to be non-work. This means that it would find its way beyond my preconceptions.
What I want of my art I can eventually find. The work must go beyond this. It is my main concern to go beyond what I know and what I can know> The formal principles are understandable and understood. It is the unknown quality from which and where I wish to go. As a thing, an object, it acceeds to its non-logical self. it is something. It is nothing."
(Eva Hesse)

"La vision n'est pas un certain mode de la pensée ou presence a soi: c'est le moyen qui m'est donné d'être absent de moi-meme, d'assister du dedans a las fission de l'Etre, au terme de laquelle seulement je me ferme sur moi."
(Merleau-Ponty)
