Lot Essay

"You have to become complete in some way; a universe--a complete thing in yourself--in order to reach across and breathe some unity onto this thing you're faced with. If you intentionally avoid that unity that is within yourself then you will avoid unity in your work" --Milton Resnick.
(M. Resnick, quoted by G. Dorfman (ed.), Out Of the Picture: Milton Resnick and the New York School, New York, 2003).
