Specialist note

“I began to think about materials as metaphor. All materials have intrinsic properties that can resonate in a number of ways. They each have a different weight, color, and texture, but also they have the potential for associations.”
- J. Newman, quoted in “John Newman and B. Wurtz,” BOMB 120, Summer 2012, accessed August 28, 2015,
