"I paint very large pictures. I realize that historically the function of painting large pictures is something very grandiose and pompous. The reason I paint them however... is precisely because I want to be intimate and human. To paint a small picture is to place yourself outside your experience as a steropticon view or with a reducing glass. However you paint the larger picture, you are in it. It isn't something you command."-----Mark Rothko
pollock, van gogh gosh, the tuttle,
On the television set is a brass statue of Shiva as Nataraja, the cosmic lord of the dance, who controls the motions of the universe and the flow of time. He dances on the demon of ignorance, his four arms held out in choreographic gesture, one foot on the demon's back, the other lifted in the air. When Nataraja brings this foot down, they say time will stop.
