• If Carl Sagan was right when he said that we are a way for the cosmos to know itself, then I believe that art is a way for us to know ourselves.


  An aperture is a hole to look through, and a portal is a hole to pass through.


  In art we do both of these things. That’s funny, because artworks look like objects; but while a painting can seem to resemble a wall, it has the secret power to become a window, or a door beyond the self.


  As we pass through a door, experience passes through us.
