Specialist note

"The spectator is really a witness. There's a state of meditation called the consciousness of the witness. It's one of absolute quietude in which you perceive the diversity of the world and also discern its continuing movement."

The artist in conversation with E. J. Sullivan, Tomás Sánchez, E. J. Sullivan, 2003.
