"Today, we are so attuned to non-objective art that we are geared to looking not for meaning in the recognizable, but reading feeling and then making associations with what the abstract artist has set down.

Color ascribed to particular shapes should then sharpen a viewer's response or even strike an ambiguous note. It tells us how to adjust with transmission of data to one of different dimensions, yet of equal weight. Arbitrarily, the example given above is physically precise.

It's all to do with relationships. Surely, words like exterior and interior are not only entities meaning part of surface, but also inside. These infer action. Their counterpart (abstract) has no pictorial representation."

Dorothy Stewart, June 2000
