"I like to take shapes that alone don't carry any emotional feeling, but by their intersecting of each other, start to talk to us emotionally. For me it's really analogous to music. The composer doesn't invent notes. They're all there on the piano. It's the repetition of notes, and their relationship with each other, that makes the difference between something that's noise and banal and something that's profound and moving...I want you to see these penetrations, because there are wonderful secondary shapes that happen. I think of them like chords in music." --Bruce Beasley (published in San Francisco Chronicle Aug. 5, 2008)
