“The thing she realised in that moment, that fraction of waiting, was lost. Nothing could bring the thing back, no words could make the thing solid and visible and therefore to be coped with. Solid and visible form was what she had been seeking. I will put this into visible language.”
“Art does not reproduce what is visible, it makes things visible.”
“Nothing is really lost or can be lost, No birth, identity, form, no object of the world, Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing..”
“Visible things can be invisible. However, our powers of thought grasp both the visible and the invisible – and I make use of painting to render thoughts visible.”
“Every visible thing in this world is put in the charge of an Angel.”
“The moment she was cursed, I lost her. Once it wears off- soon- she will be embarrassed to remember things that she said, things she did, things like this. No matter how solid she feels in my arms, she is made of smoke.”
